Jo Gaunt

Bradford-based SEND expert and mother of three, Jo Gaunt, offers a lifeline to parents of autistic children with her debut book, Your Safe Space.

Drawing on over two decades of experience working with autistic young people in various settings, as well as her own journey as a neurodivergent parent, Gaunt provides a unique blend of professional insight and personal empathy. By emphasizing understanding the autistic child’s perspective, Your Safe Space empowers parents to create calmer, more harmonious home environments.

Gaunt’s practical strategies and ‘Be WISE and THRIVE’™ approach offer support to parents at every stage, from those with suspicions about their child’s neurodiversity to those already navigating a formal diagnosis. The book promises to be a beacon of hope for parents feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of raising an autistic child in a neurotypical world.

We can’t afford to shy away from addressing the stigma and challenges that come with advocating for autistic children. Your Safe Space is the book I wish I’d had to navigate our journey as a family and I hope it helps individuals who are struggling but need to feel empowered to find what is best for their family, one child at a time. It is about enabling them to not just survive but to thrive.
