Changes are an inescapable part of life, from unexpected disruptions to our day-to-day routines to big life events. Autistic people and those with ADHD often cite change as the biggest contributor to stress and poor mental wellbeing. Why is it that change can be so difficult to cope with and what can help manage the uncertainty that change brings?

Dr Hannah Belcher answers these questions and explores how autistic and ADHD traits manifest in the face of uncertainty and unpredictability, offering positive coping strategies to support neurodivergent adults with both every day and more pivotal life changes.

This affirming guide is packed full of practical tools to help you look after yourself and manage changes and unexpected events in all aspects of adult life, from work and health to family and friends.
