When a child struggles with reading it can be for many reasons, but neurodiversity is often overlooked or misunderstood. Tegan and guest host Holly Wainwright are joined by author Sally Rippin on This Glorious Mess this week, to discuss her first book for adults, Wild Things, a personal memoir and exploration into why some children struggle to read, and what we can do.

Plus, our nails and fails include a rant about book week and car conversations.

THE END BITS
