Wonderful!

I'm a fan of Catherine's podcast and approach - and delighted to dip into her book. Its exactly the information needed to support late-diagnosed autistic women (like myself) - easy to digest - and provided some great questions to allow deeper reflection for my journey. Highly recommend!

We needed this!

MSTM is a beautifully designed, well considered website. It is clear that much time and care has gone into accessibility and the curation of work by and regarding neurodivergent people.
The delivery is prompt and customer service is helpful and welcoming . I have also visited MSTM pop-up book shop. Lovely fidget toys, all great quality.
Thank you for existing, MSTM! We needed this!

Beautiful book box, great value!

Very impressed with my Special Interest book box. It was beautifully packaged, containing 3 informative books that I still regularly use for reference (the MSTM bookmark is well thought out and has been great for referencing). Also included a sturdy MSTM tote bag! Speedy delivery too. Thank you MSTM! I will definitely recommend to friends.

From Festival Find to Online Shop: A Great Experience with Makes Sense To Me

I first came across Makes Sense To Me at Unlimited (awesome disability arts festival at the Southbank Centre in London). The founders were super friendly and approachable and I enjoyed picking out stickers and bookmarks. I have recently listened to the audiobook version of 'All Tangled Up in Autism & Chronic Illness', I found the book so useful I returned to Makes Sense to Me online to buy a paper copy. My book was dispatched quickly in beautiful eco-friendly packaging. Will definitely be using the online shop again :-) Hope to see you are more events too

All Tangled Up in Autism and Chronic Illness : A guide to navigating multiple conditions

Thank you! Wonderful book boxes :)

I really loved my book box! I'm half way through the books and getting so much from them as a neurodivergent person getting to know myself (and my brain!), and they arrived in such a thoughtful, beautiful package - it was clear a lot of care went into curating and creating them. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to learn more about neurodiverse experiences and/or read more neurodivergent authors.
