‘This book is brilliant. So much information out there is about boys with autism and there is much less information about girls. This book fills that gap brilliantly, with practical advice and appealing illustrations. Absolutely indispensable!’
Dr Hainsworth, SEND Advisor
‘The book is such a hit. After reading it, two girls in different year groups began sharing their experiences’
Primary SENDCO
‘This is a great book written for autistic girls-being truly seen and understood doesn’t just comfort a child, it shapes how they see themselves. In that space of recognition, children begin to feel safe, valued and whole, and that changes everything.’

About Me
Hello, I’m Jen, the creator of Every Kind of Mind.
I’m a highly experienced SEND teacher with over 20 years of working across schools, Alternative Provision, and in 1:1 specialist roles. I’m also a former Early Years Ofsted Inspector, which has given me a deep understanding of child development and what truly supports children to thrive.
But just as importantly, I’m a mum to two neurodivergent children. That lived experience shapes everything I create, helping me understand both the joys and the challenges that families navigate every day.
I started Every Kind of Mind because I wanted to create the kind of resources I know families and educators really need, ones that help children feel seen, valued, and confident in who they are.
My goal is to support neurodivergent children in feeling understood, while also giving parents, carers, and educators practical, meaningful tools they can use in real life.
