Inspirational!
This book was a must read for me as a primary school teacher and parent of a girl with severe dyslexia, dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder. Hannah is a true inspiration and tells her story with honesty and humility. This story gives me hope for my daughter and determination to keep up the good fight for neurodivergent children. I wish teachers like "the teacher" Hannah describes didn't exist anymore but sadly we still have a way to go before children like my daughter are fully appreciated for who they are. Thank you Hannah for giving us the gift of your story.

Everyone should read this!
Fantastic book! Such a humble but wonderfully talented woman. Informative and inspiring. Helped me understand my dyslexic, dyspraxic and sensory children so much better. So valuable to have a lived perspective rather than from theory and indirect experience. Would recommend to anyone interested to know more about neurodiversity, expand their own understanding of how other people see the world, or just read a really good book! Couldn’t put it down!

Loved this book. So easy to read and understand the struggle and successes. Should be read by every educator and every patent of a neuro diverse child

You will not be able to put this book down.
Very heart warming and informative book thank you Hannah for sharing your story, it was truly inspirational and heartwarming to see your successes despite the knock-backs you had in your life. This book will not only be an encouragement to those with similar disabilities but will be a valuable support to parents and carers. A book you will not want to miss.

A story told fora better understanding of dyslexia, dyspraxia or sensory processing disorder
As a parent, this is a great way to understand these neurological conditions, told from the point of view of someone who is like my child, but also has the clinical and medical knowledge to explain behaviours with a light touch.Well worth the read - I read it from front to back in 3 hours!

Touching and thought-provoking read
A powerful memoir that explores Hannah's journey and the challenges she faced in her life. Her writing is both raw and vulnerable, and she presents a thought-provoking perspective and the importance of inclusion. Through her personal experiences, her story is an inspiration to anyone facing adversity. A must read for all.

Excellent read
Loved this book. Great insight into neurodiversity from a child's perspective and shows that "one good adult" can make such a difference to a child. I loved the anology of the shape sorter. Really reminded me of that meme about the education system being like asking an elephant (neurodiverse) to climb a child and comparing him/her to a monkey (neurotypical). Thanks for sharing your story, Hannah.

No boundaries - and crossing over all barriers
I am very isolated with Dyspraxia in Brazil and enjoyed reading this book during Eastern holidays! I read it to know Hanna, and thought about Brazilian reality. The book draws the picture of the issues she faces with transport, daily life, school, work. Now imagine the situations in Brazilian society, local transport, local schools, and will be able to draw a picture of the daily life of a considerable large number of people. Thanks Hannah Daly! The book made my holiday a time to recover from stress, encouraging me to keep my work supporting those who, like me, have Dyspraxia and usually the other coexistent conditions, also bridging over the cultural and language barriers that surround my country.
