Re-Storying Autism: A Framework For Families, Parents, And Carers: Reimagining Support For Autistic People
"Re-Storying Autism offers a rare blend of autistic-led theory, science, lived experience, and practical application that reshapes how families understand support. I especially appreciate how it centers sensory experience, interoception, burnout, identity, and belonging as foundational, not secondary. The reflection questions woven throughout consistently guide curiosity and thoughtful growth. This is the kind of resource that helps people build environments where Autistic people can live with more felt safety, dignity, and self-trust. Highly recommend."" — Kelly Mahler, OTD, Author of The Interoception Curriculum"
