What Parents and Professionals Are Saying

  • ‘The book is such a hit. After reading it, two girls in different year groups began sharing their experiences’

    — Primary Senco

  • ‘This is a great book written for autistic girls-being truly seen and understood doesn’t just comfort a child, it shapes how they see themselves. In that space of recognition, children begin to feel safe, valued and whole, and that changes everything.’

    — Therapist

  • ‘This book is brilliant. So much information out there is about boys with autism and there is much less information about girls. This book fills that gap brilliantly, with practical advice and appealing illustrations. Absolutely indispensable!’

    — Dr Hainsworth, SEND Advisor

  • We absolutely love this book! It’s written in a clear and concise way that has allowed my daughter to access it independently. It covers all the important aspects of Autism and has helped my daughter to see her diagnosis as a positive thing.

    — Parent

  • ‘An empowering read for girls with autism. It captivates the real life essence of what it is like to live with a diagnosis of autism. A great resource to help navigate the challenges that may be experienced. It truly is ‘Affirming’.’

    -Talking Toolbox Speech and Language Therapy

  • Children love the beautiful drawings and clear explanations of overwhelm. The toolkit is such an excellent resource that helps children understand and respond to their needs.

About Me

A smiling woman with shoulder-length brown hair wearing a blue top, looking directly at the camera against a plain background.

Hello, I’m Jen, the creator of Every Kind of Mind.

I’m a highly experienced SEND teacher with over 20 years of working across schools, Alternative Provision, and in 1:1 specialist roles. I’m also a former Early Years Ofsted Inspector, which has given me a deep understanding of child development and what truly supports children to thrive.

But just as importantly, I’m a mum to two neurodivergent children. That lived experience shapes everything I create, helping me understand both the joys and the challenges that families navigate every day.

Publications

I recently wrote some articles for ‘Families Magazine’ and ‘Primary Times’ to help parents and professionals better understand how autism can present differently in girls.
