THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
The highs, the lows and the delightfully neurospicy – this book is for every parent raising the ‘in-between’ children in a neurotypical world.
How many times have you heard ‘he doesn’t look autistic’ or ‘she seems fine to me’? Do you sometimes feel alone as a parent, like no one really gets it? And have you ever watched in horror as your child told a friend their house was ‘boring and smelly’?!
If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join Lisa Lloyd on this rollercoaster journey of raising neurodivergent children who don’t fit the mainstream but aren’t considered ‘severe’ either. Lisa has been there and is ready to tell all – from the confusion of the early years and discovering your child is neurodivergent, to navigating a school system that doesn’t seem to fit, and the daily frustrations of picking your battles (and losing most of them).
Ever wondered what would happen if you took your autistic three-year-old on a haunted ghost ride? Or what your reaction would be if your seven-year-old grabbed a stranger’s backfat in the changing rooms? Wonder no more! Raising the SEN-Betweeners is a very honest guide for all those parents in similar shoes, navigating the challenges, joys and hilariously unpredictable moments every day. If that is you, this book will make one thing very clear: you are not alone.
'One of the most loving and tender accounts of motherhood I've ever read' – Sarah Turner
'Heartwarming and honest with magnificent humour sprinkled throughout' – Clara Batten
'Lisa writes with an honesty that is both refreshing and important' – Kellie Bright, actor and SEN Parent

A must listen for any SEN parent
I have put the title of this review as a must listen for any SEN parent, but in all honesty it would be amazing if everyone would listen, as it is so insightful and would hopefully make those individuals who just don’t get it, understand some of the struggles we go through.
I cried listening but also laughed a lot too! So many parts hit home. I loved it. Thank you Lisa ❤️

Brilliant book
Lisa was informative, honest, honest and incredibly funny.! A brilliant book for parents and friends of children with SEN, which seeks to show an honest side of life alongside them. The top tips at the end of each chapter are useful too! Thank you Lisa!
