Whether you are neurodivergent, suspect you might be, or want to be a better ally, UNMASKED will help you make sense of it all, and put the power in your hands.

Ellie was 24 when she learned she wasn't broken. She wasn't a bad person, she was neurodivergent. Her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism was like a lightbulb being switched on and she could finally start to heal from the trauma of being un-diagnosed and mis-understood for so long.

Since getting her diagnosis, Ellie has made it her mission to change the way we think about autism, ADHD and neurodivergence and in UNMASKED she shares what she has learned along her journey.

Written in a bite-sized style for whizzy brains like hers, Ellie shares chapters on mental health, pretty privilege, how to navigate the workplace and the importance of self-diagnosis so that we can all better understand and celebrate neurodivergence, and ultimately make the world a more inclusive place.

Critic reviews

This book will change lives! A cracking read and a must for folks with brains who do things differently
Brilliant deep dive into neurodivergence: provoked many eureka! moments.
I absolutely LOVED Ellie's book - her advice is reassuring, liberating and empowering and will help you be more you
I loved it. I'm so impressed by Ellie's courage and wisdom, this book is comforting and clever, but most of all kind
As someone who is neurodivergent, I think Ellie Middleton is the perfect voice to represent what is a beautiful but vastly misunderstood way of being. Her work is so important, this book will be a gamechanger.
A compassionate and informative account of how to work with your brain and the patchwork nature of diversity. Neurologists listen - you need to use this in your diagnoses
Ellie's book is like having a heart-to-heart with your BFF who just 'gets' your brain! Packed with personal & relatable stories, practical tips, and still manages to educate at the same time. It's a must-read to make our world more inclusive and understanding for neurodivergent people.
This book will change your life - and the world. An inspiring & validating reminder for neurodivergent people that they are not alone. I can't wait to recommend this to the people I coach.
I'm in awe - can't stop reading. So many lightbulb moments and so beautifully written, beautiful gorgeous incredible.
Finding out that you're neurodivergent generates as many questions as it answers. Ellie knows this all too well, and takes us on a journey through her deeply relatable story of self-discovery and quest for knowledge, repackaging her intensive research in a digestible, easy-to-use handbook for understanding autism and ADHD. Unmasked is the compassionate, practical and thoughtful guide to neurodivergence we've always deserved. I wish this book had existed when I was growing up as an undiagnosed AuDHDer, and I know that reading Unmasked will give parents, doctors and teachers the knowledge and confidence to finally accommodate and celebrate our differences. Ellie is going to change - and save - lives with this book.

About to go for my ADHD assessment aged 60, I hoped to become more informed and to clarify my thoughts and this book helped enormously with both, thank you. The author narrates at speed but it’s possible to alter this and I found slowing down to 85% helped my understanding.

So informative

I’ve honestly resented myself for such a long time and wondered why I cannot achieve like those around me. This book made me feel heard and understood. Not only do I understand myself more, I now have the words to articulate my difficulties to those around me.

I feel so heard

I'm only a few chapters in, but have been completely blown away by how enlightening, detailed and engaging this book is!

Perfect

Ellie incapsulates the experience of self discovery and the grey patches that medical professions don't appreciate. I suspect plenty more women who read this and previously just explained themselves by introversion, highly sensitive people, with burnout of top will work out they are autist.

Superb - fills the gap - enlightenment

Great overview of autism and adhd. Definitely worth a listen. Easy to listen to and follow. Would have loved to hear more of Ellie’s story, there were bits in there but I desperately wanted to hear more about how her neurodivergence showed up in her life more fully.

Great narration. Easy to listen to.
