Raising a Wild Child: An Inside Perspective of a Neurodivergent Mind and How to Parent Those Who Cannot Be Parented

This is a hugely insightful book that helps understand the working of other people’s (especially children’s) minds and how to engage effectively to be supportive.It’s written in a very accessible style and flows well so one can get through it quickly. And then start at the beginning again.

This book is absolutely fantastic. The way it's written makes me feel like a supportive friend is talking to me. The insights and thoughts are spot on and everyone should read this book so that those we love can have the respect and support they deserve. Thank you for writing, have recommend it to lots of people to help with theor perspective about neurodiversity.

Thank you Suzan for writing this.As a mum to a PDA teenager who burned out 5 years ago this book is extremely helpful.I have not finished the book yet. It is short (good news for a burned out parent), dense in information, understanding and support.I’ve talked with Suzan once and her understanding and ideas helped me in a way not many people can. The book is better than expected even! I love Susan’s writing style and the format of the book. It’s intelligent and honest. Very needed.I highly recommend this book. Thank you Suzan. I am looking forward to reading the rest.

Suzan's book was the written hug I needed. It's almost as if it's given me permission to be the parent that I am without question and judgement.It's impactful - it's made me feel all the feels and gave me answers to questions I've had for a long time.It's easy to follow and it's written from the heart with the purpose to help and educate.Thank you Suzan!

Love this first hand insight and personal perspective on those who may be deemed 'Wild children'. Great understanding on how adults can support children that think outside the box to thrive, as well as achieve better family dynamics. Suzan's sentiments are to the point making this book easy to read and providing a point of reference whenever you need to revisit something. The world could learn a lot from these approaches.

Absolutely Amazing! This book is an eye-opener making you question your existence and what it means to be human! It takes you on a journey providing you with valuable insight into human behaviour, trauma and its affect on the body and the brain. It highlights the beauty of individuality, the need for thinking outside the box and how current belief/behaviour systems are often embedded in us, often damaging, and in desperate need of reform. The way the scenarios are broken down and explained is so powerful it leaves you in deep thought and awe. All I can say is Thank You!!

If you have the privilege to support a child with ADHD or ASD, this book is an absolute must. If you only read one book- make it this one. Suzan writes exactly as she speaks, she has a wealth of experience and advice. She keeps us sane and has made a huge difference to our family life.

What a fantastic book! A must read for anyone with or without a wild child! An insight into the mind and life of those with ADHD, autism etc. written from real life experience. Could not recommend enough.Would be beneficial not only for those with a so called wild child, but if every teacher read this book school would be a much safer calmer enjoyable space for many children.
