About this listen

Are you the parent of a child with Autism or ADHD?

Are you an educator looking to gain a new perspective on neurodivergence?

This book can help!

Terms like neurotypical and neurodivergence are being used more frequently than before; what do they mean?

And what are the implications of an ADHD or autism diagnosis?

Seeking clear-cut answers to all your questions takes a lot of work. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and even need clarification as you try to sort through all available information.

If you are ready to navigate the challenging yet rewarding journey of parenting or educating a child with a diagnosis, this book is for you.

Combining years of professional and personal experience with general best practices, author Kim Gallo wrote this book as a comprehensive guide to help you shift your thinking.

By breaking down complex ideas and terminology, she takes the mystery and confusion out of neurodivergence. She also stresses the importance of pivoting your thinking patterns to create a healthier, positive environment.

Inside The Pivot for Parents and Educators of Autism & ADHD you will discover:

  • How a neurotypical brain differs from a neurodivergent brain
  • The different types of neurodivergence
  • Teaching a child self-regulation
  • Sensory input and processing
  • Unnecessary stressors
  • The new language of autism & ADHD
  • The importance of mindset
  • How to pivot from a stuck mindset to a growth mindset.
  • And many other invaluable tools.

Instead of being worried or disappointed about your child’s diagnosis, you can reframe your thoughts and find hope and excitement for the future.

Acquiring new information about ADHD and autism will help you empower your children with neurodivergent brains to be more confident and peaceful adults. It will also help you be a more content and confident educator.

I was completely unaware that there are actually eight senses until I came across the book titled "The Pivot for Parents and Educators Looking at Autism and ADHD Through a Different Lens: How Understanding the Neurodivergent Mind Can Change Our Thoughts and Feelings about a Diagnosis." This book has provided me with profound insights and has truly opened my eyes. While I don't personally have children with ADHD or autism, a dear friend of mine does. She has often shared with me the immense difficulties she faces in her life due to her son's condition. Her struggles include maintaining relationships, as men tend to leave her shortly after becoming involved. Reading this book has taught me a great deal about ADHD and autism. The author has done an exceptional job of conveying her personal journey, from the moment she discovered her child's ADHD diagnosis to how she felt and coped with it. This experience ultimately led her to write this book, with the intention of helping others who may be going through similar challenges.

I was always under the impression that we only had 5 senses, but with this audiobook I discovered that we have 8. Who knew? Anyway, I have seen not just parents with children with ADHD but people that have ADHD and as parents, we don’t want to hear the words connected to a disability. I have never liked to call someone with ADHD as having a disability. That is just not how I see someone. My opinion.

Author Kim Gallo has written a very insightful book and the narration of this audiobook is very easy to listen to. Adrian Newcastle is awesome. I thank the author for sharing her journey with ADHD with her child. I know that her intention of this audiobook is to try and help as many people as possible, and I truly believe she is on the right track. Great Job!

An absolute must listen!

This is a good read for parents and educators of Neuro divergent children. It is absolutely packed with useful information. I found chapter three fantastically interesting on three extra senses that are related to the condition and hints and tips to help control the issues that can arise due to these. Chapter 5 is all about words and Language and how to use these constructively and induce good change. Chapter seven on mindset I found useful and you can apply these tips to any situation. I particularly like the analogy of the tennis player/match because it's absolutely true. The book is well narrated and I would recommend those wanting to learn more about the Neurotype

I was drawn to this audiobook as the author is well educated and personally experienced with the subject matter. I also then found it to be very well referenced and with no “filling” with irrelevant information.
It’s a comprehensive and straightforward listen,narrator has a nice tone.
(Only negative observation is that there’s not much content on adhd but still a 5* audio)

Very Informative

This was an amazing listen, and boy does this book deliver. I am a primary school teacher constantly on the lookout for up-to-date information and advice regarding best practices for educating and interacting with neurodivergent children. This book was easy to understand and allowed me to gain a fresh perspective, whilst also providing a broader take on what these children experience in various spheres of their lives. I certainly consider this an important listen if you are a parent, carer or educator.
