About the book

How Milly’s Mind
came about


Learning with some laughter
Milly’s Mind is bursting with insight into autism, with beautiful illustrations by Jo McGivern. And it wouldn’t reflect Milly without a bit of humour thrown in.
Milly and her dad think Milly’s Mind is worth sharing with the world.

How Milly’s Mind was written
Though Milly’s speech apraxia may steal some words from her mouth and distort others, the way she describes experiences with the words that she does have is blisteringly honest and piercingly insightful. Sometimes heart-warming, sometimes heart-wrenching, but always fascinating.
To build on I am Milly to create Milly’s Mind, Dad helped Milly out with the order of her words and with all the words that don’t matter quite so much (but under strict instructions to get it to rhyme!).
There’s a note from Dad at the start of the book explaining that though the words have been strung together by Dad, using Dad’s language, they reflect the words Milly herself uses and the intent of her language.
