Publisher's Summary
Beloved star of ABC TV's award-winning Love on the Spectrum and disability rights advocate Jodi Rodgers shares stories from her three-decade career working with the autistic community and calls for a more inclusive and accepting society where we are more empathetic and curious about all the relationships in our lives.
Jodi explores the powerful impact of embracing neurodiversity and forming meaningful connections with those around us. Each chapter highlights a different story and an aspect of human behaviour, including:
- How we perceive the world, and our own unique experience of thinking, sensing and feeling
- How we communicate our perspective to others, understand one another and express ourselves, and
- How we can better connect with one another
With dozens of moving stories, Jodi's book will give listeners a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the neurodiverse community around them. Above all, it will inspire a profound sense of belonging, revealing that we're much more similar than we think and that all of our differences are worth celebrating.

Beautifully narrated personal stories of autistic ppl presented via really sophisticated yet simple storytelling
Beautifully written stories and narratives from Jodi’s experiences over 30years working with, befriending and supporting autistic individuals. Each story offers greater insight and understanding about autistic people how they perceive the world and closes the gap in the disconnect between neurotypical and neurodivergent. A book everyone should read.

Full of stories while you learn along the way
I loved Jodi on ‘Love on the Spectrum’ and I now love her more because of this book. Especially as an audiobook, it’s like listening to a friend over a cup of tea.
This book is full of great stories and knowledge - and told in the most captivating way. This book is for everyone - teachers, support workers and anyone wanting to understand more about autism.
