Translucent: A Memoir & Survival Guide for Raising Kids with Invisible Needs the System Misses, the World Judges and Karen Side-Eyes at the Checkout


Overview

Some needs aren't invisible; they are translucent. When a mother's world becomes a revolving door of assessments, acronyms, and side-eyes at the checkout, survival turns into an art form. In this raw, funny, and fiercely honest memoir, a Hackney-born mother turns the chaos of raising a child with complex, misunderstood needs into a movement for change. Translucent redefines what it means to parent beyond the labels. With biting humour, emotional intelligence, and moments of breathtaking clarity, the author coins a new language: 'Translucent Need', to describe children whose struggles are not invisible but simply misread. Part memoir, part manual, and part manifesto, this book offers: Real-life insight into navigating education, healthcare, and ""the system"". Survival strategies for parents who feel unseen, unheard, or on the brink. Reflections that transform guilt and burnout into empowerment. ""Translucent Needs Identified"" sections that bridge emotion and advocacy for teachers, carers, and professionals. Humour and humanity in the face of judgment, exhaustion, and hope. If you have ever sat in a car park crying between appointments, been told your child just needs better boundaries, or wanted to shout ""it's not bad parenting; it's the system"", this book is for you. Translucent is a survival guide, a mirror, and a love letter to every parent fighting unseen battles with grace, grit, and sometimes, sarcasm. Because some of us don't need fixing. We just need translating.
