Dealing with Change, Loss and the Unexpected
A Practical Guide for Neurodivergent Adults
Available in Hardback, Kindle, and Audible
Publisher by Jessica Kingsley Publishers | August 2026
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.
Chris Bonnello, autism advocate, speaker, and author
"Dealing with Change, Loss, and the Unexpected is such an important book. Dr Belcher's work helps to further the neurodiversity discussion in a way that is healthy, compassionate, and neurodivergent-led."
Taking off the Mask
Practical Exercises to Help Understand and Minimise the Effects of Autistic Camouflaging
Available in Hardback, Kindle, and Audible
Publisher by Jessica Kingsley Publishers | September 2022
Growing up autistic can often feel as though you have to become a chameleon in social situations, camouflaging yourself to fit in with a seemingly neurotypical world. Combining lived experience with scientific research and practical advice, this book is the essential guide to understanding why you mask and how to feel confident without one.
Focusing on diagnostic devices like the Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) to discover the situations in which you mask the most and why, alongside a range of techniques, from CBT, compassion based therapy, DBT, and mindfulness to relieve anxiety and reduce stress, this guide gives you all the tools and confidence you need to re-connect with yourself, the things you love and finally, take off your mask.
Liane Holliday Willey, EdD author of Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome and Safety Skills for Asperger Women: How to Save a Perfectly Good Female Life
"Autistic authenticity is essential for self-acceptance and self-worth. Indeed, it is the key to living a life less riddled with mental health challenges that can completely cripple. In Taking off the Mask autistics will find a thoughtful and practical map they can use on their journey to living life fully and comfortably as their true self. And equally as important, non autistic audiences will be persuasively encouraged to change the way the world accepts and truly supports neurodiversity."
