“This story is a soft landing for so many of us who grew up feeling out of rhythm with the world. Strong and Sensitive speaks with honesty and pride about what it can mean to be an autistic and ADHD mind in motion… vibrant, curious, and deeply feeling. It’s a reminder that our differences were never flaws to fix, but ways of being to understand, honour, and celebrate.” - Kristy Forbes, PDA Educator (In Tune Pathways)
This book does not label, diagnose, or pathologise children. It offers language for understanding, self-compassion, and pride.
