“This story is a soft landing for so many of us who grew up feeling out of rhythm with the world. Strong and Sensitive speaks with honesty and pride about what it can mean to be an autistic and ADHD mind in motion… vibrant, curious, and deeply feeling. It’s a reminder that our differences were never flaws to fix, but ways of being to understand, honour, and celebrate.” - Kristy Forbes, PDA Educator (In Tune Pathways)

This book does not label, diagnose, or pathologise children. It offers language for understanding, self-compassion, and pride.

'The most beautiful, neuroaffirming picture book that explains things to young minds so well - simple and strength-based. I love the illustrations too. A very valuable addition to my school psychology resources.'

Pia T- Star Rating *****
'Absolutely beautiful book. So heartfelt and inspiring. Brought tears to my eyes and to my 6 year olds eyes. If you have an AuDHDer in your life who wants to feel special about their neurotype and understand more about themselves then this is the perfect book.'
