When My Brain Is Messy

Meet a little autistic dinosaur with a big heart and even bigger feelings. From the challenges of loud noises and bright lights to the need for deep pressure and moments of calm, this heartfelt story offers a gentle, relatable way to explore sensory and emotional needs.

Written in simple, engaging rhyme and paired with vibrant illustrations, this book helps children:

Recognise and express their sensory needs.

Feel seen and validated in their emotions.

Discover techniques for finding balance and regulation.

Watching the dinosaur’s tummy light up with a happy rainbow when it feels regulated, your child will see their own journey reflected back to them with warmth and hope.

Inspired by the real-life experiences of an autistic mother, this story is more than just a book. It’s a message of hope, understanding, and celebration for neurodivergent children and their families.

Whether you’re the parent of a neurodivergent child, a caregiver, a therapist, or a teacher, this book is a heartfelt way to spark conversations, build empathy, and create connections.

Perfect for ages 2-8

Recommended by psychologists, occupational therapists, and teachers.
