Different Minds

How We Can Help Our Autistic School Children Thrive

Pete Wharmby

Family & Relationships / Children with Special Needs

If you have an autistic child in school, you may be painfully aware that mainstream education wasn't built with them in mind.

In this book, a neurodivergence campaigner and former teacher shines a light on what it's really like to be autistic in school today and why so many children are misunderstood. Through a blend of storytelling, polemic, and empathetic advice, the author exposes the inadequacies of the current system, explains how differences have been mislabeled as 'challenging behavior', and provides a blueprint for understanding and supporting young autistic minds

Galvanizing and compassionate, this book empowers parents, teachers, and caregivers to take a stand for our autistic schoolchildren and create the conditions they need to truly thrive.

Pete Wharmby is a neurodivergence campaigner and former teacher who was diagnosed autistic at age 34. He is also a father to an autistic child. Shocked by the statistics around depression, anxiety, and life expectancy for autistic people, Pete has immersed himself in working to improve neurodiversity awareness and acceptance. He has written two books on autistic experience: What I Want to Talk About: How Autistic Special Interests Shape a Life (2022) and Untypical (2023).
