Squirrels, Odd Socks & Side Quests is an honest, funny and very real look at life in a neurodivergent family, where the socks rarely match, somebody has probably lost something important, and the simplest of plans can become an unexpected adventure.
Written from lived experience, Stefanie Simpson shares the chaos, humour, challenges and brilliant moments that come with navigating neurodivergence, parenting and family life.
This isn’t a book about fixing people or doing family life the “right” way. It’s about recognising the reality behind the scenes, finding humour when you can, giving yourself a little more kindness and knowing you’re not the only family whose life doesn’t quite follow the instruction manual.
Warm, relatable and refreshingly honest, Squirrels, Odd Socks & Side Quests is for the parents, carers and wonderfully wired adults who have ever looked around at the chaos and thought, surely it isn’t just us?
Perfect for:
- Neurodivergent parents and adults
- Parents and carers of neurodivergent children
- Anyone navigating the wonderfully unpredictable reality of family life
- People who appreciate honesty, humour and absolutely no pretence of having it all together
