Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Whether you are neurodivergent, suspect you might be, or want to be a better ally, UNMASKED will help you make sense of it all, and put the power in your hands.

Ellie was 24 when she learned she wasn't broken. She wasn't a bad person, she was neurodivergent. Her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism was like a lightbulb being switched on and she could finally start to heal from the trauma of being un-diagnosed and mis-understood for so long.

Since getting her diagnosis, Ellie has made it her mission to change the way we think about autism, ADHD and neurodivergence and in UNMASKED she shares what she has learned along her journey.

Written in a bite-sized style for whizzy brains like hers, Ellie shares chapters on mental health, pretty privilege, how to navigate the workplace and the importance of self-diagnosis so that we can all better understand and celebrate neurodivergence, and ultimately make the world a more inclusive place.

Great intro guide to surviving late diagnosis

I loved the way this book was structured - worked brilliantly with my brain. It is also user friendly in the way that my 9 year old newly diagnosed auDHDer was able to listen in and relate too ❤️

Super easy to follow!

This book was everything! The way that Ellie has written this makes it so easy to digest and understand, the tips (the speeding up the audio tip has changed my life when listening to audiobooks) and end of chapter summary’s are something I wish were in every book…
Can’t wait to see/listen to more from Ellie!
Would recommend (and have been recommending) to everyone wishing to understand more about themselves or others 😊

Inspiring

Thanh you for writing this book and scaring your story, Ellie. My 13-year-old daughter has recently been diagnosed with AuDHD and masks hugely, so much so that no one believes her when she tells them about her diagnoses. She is slowly beginning to share her diagnosis more widely and beginning her journey to live a more authentic life. This book was hugely helpful. Thank you.

Life changing

I’m would honestly recommend this to everyone, one month post medical diagnosis and it’s been like a huge weight has been lifted reading this book. You should be immensely proud of yourself Ellie Middleton.

Great narration. Easy to listen to.

Great overview of autism and adhd. Definitely worth a listen. Easy to listen to and follow. Would have loved to hear more of Ellie’s story, there were bits in there but I desperately wanted to hear more about how her neurodivergence showed up in her life more fully.
