How to be You

The latest feel-good book packed with practical tips from the author of the smash-hit book on ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence, Unmasked.

Ellie Middleton is back with a new, practical book to help you work with your neurodivergent brain rather than against it. In each chapter, she writes about the eight executive functions that neurodivergent people struggle with, including working memory, prioritisation, and emotional regulation, and shares simple tips for readers to try out.

This isn't another journal or planner that claims to organise your entire life because Ellie is the first to admit that she doesn't have things under control 100% of the time. This also is not a book about how to fit into the neurotypical way of doing things (aka masking). Instead, Ellie reveals why society tells us that we 'should' do things (read: patriarchy, ableism, White supremacy) and shows us how we can all free ourselves of those expectations, feel empowered, and, ultimately, be more you.
