"These authors clearly have a deep understanding of the autism, visual thinking and neurodiversity. I love the idea of the two books working together as so often parents are left in the waiting room while their child is receiving therapy or various services. The entire time I read both books I pictured myself when my son was diagnosed - I thought of my state of mind, my emotions, concerns and misunderstandings. A book like this would have been an incredible resource to have access to sit and work with my son and learn together." Danny Combs, Certified Autism Specialist, President of Teaching the Autism Community Trades (TACT), author of Supporting Neurodivergent and Autistic People for Their Transition into Adulthood The face of autism has always been white boys and men by default, so it is very refreshing to see 'Autism and race' (written by Lauren Melissa Ellzey) highlighted and addressed in a way people, young and old, can understand. It's especially important for these issues to be brought to the frontline so that the media can start bringing forth more diverse stories of autism and exploring other areas of the spectrum. Rebecca nailed it, and having Lyric, someone who is Actually Autistic, onboard was so heartwarming to see learning about autism from autistic people is crucial. - Ayanna Sanaa Davis, aka Phenomenally Autistic, Autism Artist & Advocate An essential guide for professionals supporting autistic children and young people to understand and embrace their autistic identity.


Rebecca's insight and knowledge will make a huge difference to the lives of autistic young people. -Emily Katy, author and autistic advocate.
