In this imaginative, authentic book, four-year-old Elias depicts his experiences growing up in a neurodiverse family, with his autistic Mummy and brother and non-autistic Daddy.

Using bright and colourful drawings, Elias thinks about what it means to have different kinds of brains and shares his encounters of the differences between his parents on a day-to-day basis. Elias’s story is accompanied by his Mummy Joanna’s commentary, where she explores parenting across the neurodivide and how we can promote understanding of difference.

Key features include:

• A foreword by neurodiversity advocate, author and former teacher, Chris Bonnello
• A unique exploration of the Double Empathy Problem, emphasising that the difficulty is difference without understanding, not the type of brain
• Bright, engaging pictures perfect for inspiring conversations about neurodiversity and family dynamics between people of all ages
• An insight into different neurotypes and how understanding changes with knowledge, as perceived by a young child
• Accompanying explanatory text that expands on themes in the story

My Daddy is Not Autistic (But My Mummy is) provides a unique perspective on growing up in a neurodiverse household and is a valuable, often humorous and joyful resource for all people seeking to explain and understand difference, regardless of age.
