'This is the book l wish l'd had when my daughter Chloé was diagnosed autistic. The book l wish l'd had when l was parenting any of my children as they faced challenges or didn't fit the "norm". I've written it for every parent who wants to encourage and affirm their children for who they are, not who they're meant to be.' - Sarah Hayden
