If you have an autistic child in school, you may be painfully aware that mainstream education wasn’t built with them in mind.

In Different Minds, former teacher and neurodivergence campaigner Pete Wharmby reveals what it’s really like to be autistic in school today and why so many children are misunderstood. Through a blend of storytelling, impassioned polemic and empathetic advice, Wharmby exposes the inadequacies of the current system, reveals how differences are mislabelled ‘challenging behaviour’ and explains how to bridge the gap between the autistic and non-autistic worlds.

Galvanising, validating and important, Different Minds empowers parents, teachers and carers to take a stand for our children and create the conditions they need to truly thrive.
