So, I’m Autistic… Now what?
So, I’m Autistic is a book I wrote as if telling my teen self everything would be okay, but writing the book wasn’t as quick as I thought it would be.

Autistic sensory experiences, in our own words
Since 2018 I’ve worked on a research project focusing on sensory experiences of autistic people, now is a chance to read about it.

The harm of ‘cripping up’
Acting as a disabled person when non-disabled does harm to disabled communities so why is Hollywood so obsessed with telling our stories without our involvement?

Reflecting on a reflection that doesn’t match
What happens when you look in the mirror and an imposter stares back? How do you tame it? I have.

I’m moving on
I’ve had two years of growth and learning about myself in my current job, now it’s time to face some new challenges.

Where do we go from here?
What happens when the outside world is hostile so you just stay inside?
