"Blessed are the Neurodivergent" is a compassionate, honest and often humorous exploration of what it means to be autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent in a church culture largely built by and for neurotypical people.

Drawing on her experience as a mum of two autistic teens, a pastor's wife, and a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman herself, the author weaves together theology, story and practical wisdom. You'll meet composite case studies like Sam and Dan, whose "behaviour" is so often misread, and hear directly from neurodivergent adults and parents who responded to the author's survey.

This book gently dismantles myths ("you're just not trying hard enough"), explains key concepts in clear, accessible language, and asks hard questions about how sermons, small groups, youth work and unwritten church rules can harm those who experience the world differently. But it doesn't stop at critique: it offers concrete ideas for "reasonable adjustments" and a richer, more biblical vision of the body of Christ, where ND people are not projects but indispensable saints.

Whether you're neurodivergent, love someone who is, or lead in a church, this book will help you understand, repent where needed, and reimagine belonging - for everyone.
