"Oops! My Autism is Showing!" is a warm, funny and relatable collection of bite-sized, real-life autistic moments — filled with unexpected logic, honesty, and the beautifully literal thinking that makes autistic minds extraordinary.
Each page captures a small, familiar snapshot, from refusing to harm the imaginary frog in your throat, to renaming pockets, to following instructions exactly as they’re given… even when Mum didn’t quite mean it that way.
Through short, charming anecdotes gathered from real families, this book celebrates the everyday humour of autism with warmth, recognition, and respect.
With laughter, tenderness, and gentle insight, these moments highlight the creativity, clarity, and unique perspective autistic individuals bring to the world.
Perfect for dipping in and out of, sharing, or reading together, it offers a joyful and accessible way to recognise and appreciate different ways of thinking.
A brilliant feel-good gift for:
Autistic teens, adults, or children
Parents and carers
Teachers, SENCOs and support staff
Therapists and psychologists
Anyone who loves literal humour
Celebratory, insightful, and irresistibly funny.

"Oops! My ADHD is Showing!" is a relatable collection of bite-sized, real-life ADHD moments — sometimes chaotic, often honest, and always warm, human and recognisable.
Each page captures a familiar snapshot, 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.
Packed with short anecdotes, quick-fire humour, and the kind of everyday chaos only the ADHD brain can produce, this book reflects ADHD life exactly as it is: messy, funny, and full of charm.
Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or suspect your brain has several tabs open at once, you’ll find yourself nodding, laughing, and thinking, “yep… that’s me.”
Perfect for dipping in and out of, sharing, or reading together, it celebrates neurodiversity with humour, recognition, and heart.
Perfect for:
ADHD teens and adults
Parents of ADHD children
Teachers, SENCOs, therapists, and counsellors
Anyone who uses humour to cope with life
Gifts, stocking fillers, or “you’re not alone” moments
Comforting, chaotic, and laugh-out-loud familiar.
ISBN - 978-1-9194631-5-5
"Oops! My Anxiety is Showing!" is a funny, honest, and relatable collection of bite-sized, real-life moments from the anxious brain. Written with warmth, wit, and a healthy dose of self-compassion.
Each page captures a familiar snapshot — the kind that makes you think, “oh wow, that’s me.”
Packed with candid anecdotes 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, recognition, and a feeling of “thank goodness, it’s not just me.”
Perfect for dipping in and out of, sharing, or reading together, it’s a gentle reminder that even in the most overwhelming moments… there is often something to recognise — and sometimes, even something to laugh about.
A perfect gift for:
Anxious teens and adults
Neurodivergent readers
Therapists and counsellors
Friends needing a pick-me-up
Anyone who copes with life using humour.
