Little Fox's Hidden Disability


Overview

Little Fox's Hidden Disability is a children's story about understanding differences that aren't always visible. Little Fox is searching for something he can't quite find... his hidden disability. He knows it's there. He feels it. But when he looks around at his friends, he notices that their differences are easier to see. Some use wheelchairs. Some wear hearing aids. Some have supports that help them move through the world. Little Fox begins to wonder. If their differences can be seen, why can't his? Why does his feel so hard to explain? As he asks questions and tries to make sense of his experience, Mama helps him understand something important: not all disabilities look the same. Some are visible. Some are not. Through this, Little Fox begins to see himself differently. He learns that just because others can't see his disability doesn't mean it isn't real. It doesn't make it less important, and it doesn't mean he shouldn't be supported. This story reflects the experiences of many children who live with hidden disabilities, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, anxiety, and other conditions that may not be obvious to others. Little Fox's Hidden Disability creates a starting point for conversations that can sometimes feel hard to explain. It gives children language they can relate to and helps adults talk about these ideas in a clear and accessible way. Written with young children in mind, the story uses simple, easy-to-follow language that supports understanding without overwhelming the reader. It is suitable for a wide range of developmental stages and communication styles. This book supports children to: - Understand that disabilities are not always visible - Recognise that people experience the world in different ways - Build awareness of others and their needs - Feel understood in their own experiences - Know that needing support is okay For children with a hidden disability, this story offers recognition. Seeing their experience reflected in a book can help them feel less alone and more confident in who they are. For other children, it helps build awareness and understanding of differences in a simple, relatable way. For parents, carers, educators, and therapists, this book can be used as a tool to support meaningful conversations. Whether at home, in the classroom, or in a therapy setting, it opens the door to talking about inclusion in a natural way. The concept of hidden disability can be difficult for young children to understand. It's often easier to make sense of what we can see. This story helps bridge that gap by introducing the idea that some differences are felt rather than visible. Giving Back For every book sold, a sunflower lanyard is donated to support hidden disability awareness and help someone feel seen. The sunflower lanyard is a recognised symbol used by people with hidden disabilities to indicate that they may need additional support, patience, or understanding. Each purchase contributes to greater awareness in the wider community. About the Author Written by an autistic author and mother of two neurodivergent children, this story is shaped by lived experience. It reflects real moments, real questions, and real challenges that many families face.
