I absolutely LOVED Ellie's book - her advice is reassuring,
liberating and empowering and will help you be more you

This book will change lives! A cracking read and a must for folks
with brains who do things differently

Broken*
I loved it. I'm so impressed by Ellie's courage and wisdom, this
book is comforting and clever, but most of all kind
*Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable*
As someone who is neurodivergent, I think Ellie Middleton is the
perfect voice to represent what is a beautiful but vastly
misunderstood way of being. Her work is so important, this book
will be a gamechanger.
*Joshua Fletcher, aka @AnxietyJosh*
A compassionate and informative account of how to work with your
brain and the patchwork nature of diversity. Neurologists listen -
you need to use this in your diagnoses
*Camilla Pang, author of the prize-winning Explaining Humans*
Ellie's book is like having a heart-to-heart with your BFF who just
'gets' your brain! Packed with personal & relatable stories,
practical tips, and still manages to educate at the same time. It's
a must-read to make our world more inclusive and understanding for
neurodivergent people.
*Vanessa D’Souza, The Autistic Chef*
This book will change your life - and the world. An inspiring &
validating reminder for neurodivergent people that they are not
alone. I can't wait to recommend this to the people I coach.
*Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A-Z*
I'm in awe - can't stop reading. So many lightbulb moments and so
beautifully written, beautiful gorgeous incredible.

Finding out that you're neurodivergent generates as many questions
as it answers. Ellie knows this all too well, and takes us on a
journey through her deeply relatable story of self-discovery and
quest for knowledge, repackaging her intensive research in a
digestible, easy-to-use handbook for understanding autism and ADHD.
Unmasked is the compassionate, practical and thoughtful guide to
neurodivergence we've always deserved. I wish this book had existed
when I was growing up as an undiagnosed AuDHDer, and I know that
reading Unmasked will give parents, doctors and teachers the
knowledge and confidence to finally accommodate and celebrate our
differences. Ellie is going to change - and save - lives with this
book.
*Milly Evans, author of HONEST*
Finally! A book that helps neurodivergent folks understand HOW our
brains work and - most importantly - how to work WITH our brains,
in a world not built for us. In How To Be You, Ellie serves up
pearls of wisdom and practical "life hacks" needed to navigate life
as a neurodivergent person, with the acknowledgement that existing
in a neurotypical world can be really flipping hard
*Heidi Mavr, author of Your Child Is Not Broken*
Like a hug for neurodivergent brains
*Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans*
