Being Autistic is here! 📚👍🏻 And it is as supportive and respectful and explanatory as I could have hoped! It is absolutely the right level and tone for the elementary-age set. I will hand this over to my 8 year old tomorrow.

*Pre-empting concern from some about the puzzle piece on this cover. The book was created by a child. The blurb has a note from their Mum stating it wasn't used to indicate something is missing in autistic people, rather diagnosis helped the parts of their life fit together.

Just a quick note. I've not been online because a close family member is dying, and now in their final couple of days. I won't be able to post the May new releases summary and may not get to outstanding replies. You can view May releases on the website autismbooksbyautisticauthors.com

I worked with Lindsey Rowe Parker on a second 'Wiggles Stomps Squeezes' picture book- sharing what it's like going to school with sensory differences, and how having something familiar with you can help :)
Gonna share some images in a thread~
