“Oops! My Autism is Showing!” is a heart-warming, funny, and relatable collection of real-life autistic moments filled with unexpected logic, honesty, and the beautifully literal thinking that makes autistic minds extraordinary.
Through short, charming anecdotes gathered from real families, “Oops! My Autism is Showing!” celebrates the everyday humour of autism: from refusing to harm the imaginary frog in your throat, to renaming pockets, to taking instructions exactly as they’re given, even when Mum didn’t quite mean it that way!
With laughter, tenderness, and genuine insight, these stories showcase the creativity, clarity, and unique perspective that autistic individuals bring to the world. Perfect for families, educators, therapists, autistic children and adults, or anyone who wants to understand autism through a warm and joyful lens.

“Oops! My ADHD is Showing!” is a relatable collection of real-life ADHD moments. Sometimes chaotic, oftentimes honest, and definitely warm and wonderfully human.
From forgetting you drove to work (and taking the bus home), to serving frozen pizza because the oven wasn’t switched on, to derailing a simple Google search with seventeen distractions and a cat meme… this book captures ADHD life exactly as it is: messy, funny, and full of charm.
Packed with short anecdotes, quick-fire jokes, and the kind of everyday chaos only the ADHD brain can produce, this book celebrates neurodiversity with humour and heart. Whether you have ADHD, love someone with it, or suspect your brain has several tabs open at once, you’ll find yourself nodding, laughing, and thinking, “Yep… that’s me.”

“Oops! My Anxiety is Showing!” is a funny, honest, and relatable collection of real-life moments from the anxious brain. Written with warmth, wit, and a healthy dose of self-compassion.
Packed with candid anecdotes, laugh-out-loud observations, and the kind of humour only the neurodiverse can truly master, this book shines a light on what anxiety really feels like… from sweaty-palmed school moments and Subway-order panic, to naming your panic attacks (“Today’s is Barbara”) and imagining your problems as angry animals!
Whether you live with anxiety yourself, love someone who does, or just want to understand it better, this little book offers comfort, representation, and a feeling of “Oh, thank goodness, it’s not just me.”
