Critics Review
Controlled Chaos features lots of practical information which will help neurodivergent parents handle the stress of being a parent. It is essential for parents to have plans in the house and time in their schedule for whatever may come – Temple Grandin, bestselling author of ‘The Autistic Brain’ and ‘Visual Thinking’
Parenting is chaotic, unpredictable, noisy and relentlessly demanding, creating a hostile takeover of many of the things neurodivergent brains rely on to function. Controlled Chaos understands that. Daniel M. Jones combines lived experience, humour and genuinely practical strategies without pretending that neurodivergent parents need fixing. This is an accessible, reassuring and refreshingly realistic guide to building family life around the brains you actually have, rather than the ones parenting books assume you have – Dr James Brown, author of ‘ADHD Unpacked’
Controlled Chaos is a must read for both parents with ASD and those who parent children with ASD. Daniel M. Jones brilliantly explains parenting tips, strategies and the neurocognitive framework that accompanies ASD. This book is filled with humour, grace and compassion. The action steps are highly effective and lead to parenting success – Nechama Sorscher, PhD, psychologist and author of ‘Your Neurodiverse Child’
Some autism books are all doom and gloom, while others are filled with toxic positivity, but Controlled Chaos is a raw and honest collection of terms and tools that will explain neurodivergent lived experience in ways that provide a real balance between the strengths and challenges of being a part of a neurodivergent family. With practical suggestions and a realistic approach, Jones guides readers to creating a happy and calm approach to parenting and life – Angela Kingdon, PhD, author of ‘Autistic Culture’ and founder of the Autistic Culture Institute
