An Evening with Lisa Lloyd

Author Bio: Lisa Lloyd, bestselling author of Raising the SEN-Betweeners and campaigner known as ‘ASD with a G&T’, is a fun-loving mum of two neurodivergent children. As a content creator and co-founder of SEND Reform England, she uses humour and honesty to raise awareness of hidden disabilities and share the realities of parenting kids who don’t fit the mould, offering support and community to those on a similar journey.

New Release: Unmasking Mum

Synopsis:

When Lisa Lloyd (known to her 300k+ followers online as asd_with_a_g_and_t) became a mother, she expected the usual challenges. What she didn’t expect was just how overwhelming it would feel—the sensory overload, the relentless demands, the loss of personal space. While other parents seemed to cope, Lisa found herself struggling to keep up.

Years later, an autism diagnosis at 41 finally gave her the answer: she wasn’t broken, she was neurodivergent. Suddenly, everything made sense.

In Unmasking Mum, Lisa shares her journey with honesty, humour and hard-won insight, shining a much-needed light on the realities of neurodivergent parenting. From navigating autistic burnout to managing meltdowns (both your children’s and your own), and from feeling like the “odd mum out” to learning how to advocate for your needs, this is a book for anyone who has ever felt unseen in the parenting conversation.

Blending memoir with practical guidance in Lisa’s trademark warm and witty style, Unmasking Mum captures the chaos, complexity and comedy of raising a neurodivergent family. It’s also a practical, actionable guide- helping readers better understand themselves while finding ways to navigate family life with greater confidence and self-compassion.

This is a first-to-market, laugh-out-loud, stealth-help memoir shining a light on the specific challenges of neurodivergent parenting in a neurodivergent family.
