Story5 out of 5 stars 17
An unapologetic, deeply moving manual for parents of neurodivergent children from Heidi Mavir, a late-identified, neurodivergent adult and parent to an autistic/ADHD teenager. This updated edition includes information on Pathological Demand Avoidance, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, an interview with Heidi's son Theo and more. Follow Heidi's irreverent and brutally honest story of her fight to be seen, heard and supported, while swimming against a tide of parent blame, ableist stereotypes and the weight of other people’s opinions.

Wonderful book, less great reader.

Ok. I love love love this book. I've read it several times. A big main theme is escape. It's a word you read/hear often in the book. I almost stopped listening after the first few times the reader pronounced it 'exscape', along with 'exspecially'. He mispronounces very easy words, like 'hopped' - he says 'hoped'. And is it so hard to rewind the recorder to delete your stumbles and start the sentence over instead of leaving them there for all to listen to? It's jarring.
Other than a lackluster performance, I do recommend this book.

On the streets of Boston, the world is divided into the ordinary Usuals, and the paranormal Unorthodox. And in the Department of Unorthodox Affairs, the Auditors are the magical elite, government-sanctioned witches with spells at their command and all the power and prestige that comes with it. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby is…not one of those witches.

Fun and witty, plenty of action and entertainment- my only critique is that it reads as though it could have been an off branch series from the Dresden files (which i love, so it's not a complaint, really.) Very similar character personalities and mannerisms. Still a very good story on its own, and I eagerly look forward to more!
