The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability
The Bloomsbury Guide to Philosophy of Disability is a revolutionary collection encompassing the most innovative and insurgent work in philosophy of disability. Edited and anthologized by disabled philosopher Shelley Lynn Tremain, this book challenges how disability has historically been represented and understood in philosophy: it critically undermines the detrimental assumptions that various subfields of philosophy produce; resists the institutionalized ableism of academia to which these assumptions contribute; and boldly articulates new anti-ableist, anti-sexist, anti-racist, queer, anti-capitalist, anti-carceral, and decolonial insights and perspectives that counter these assumptions.

Autism Self-Assessment Workbook
"The Autism Self-Assessment Workbook is designed to help uncover your autistic traits and needs. It is an interactive pdf workbook that you can fill out digitally, though you can print out the pages as well. This workbook was designed by me, a late-diagnosed autistic woman. I know what it’s like going through life as an undiagnosed autistic, giving me insight into what kind of statements and examples to include in the checklists. There is also space to clarify your answers and add your own examples after every checklist."
Impavidus (The Impavidus Cycle Book 3)
Tenuous peace has at last been reached within Sylva’s walls - yet beyond them, in the cold recesses of the dark world of Hatheg Kla, Z’xolkuloth’s will continues to twist and poison all it touches. Gripped in the throes of a strange illness and facing down forces that threaten all he holds dear, Albtraum must return to the dark world to seek answers... yet there the horrors he faces will test the limits of his mind, body, and soul. He must fight for his humanity more than ever before - the very fabric of the world he has come to love so much depends upon his success.

My child/teen has been identified as Autistic: A book for parents or anyone wanting to understand Autism
When your child or teenager is identified as Autistic or gets a diagnosis, it can be hard to know where to go to get the best information and advice. After diagnosis, many parents are just given a leaflet and are left with many questions about what their child being Autistic means. I believe that the best advice about being Autistic should come from Autistic people themselves; so that is why I have written down all the things I know parents will find helpful (and anyone else wanting to understand Autism).

Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages: A Roadmap To An Equitable Life For Autistic Children
"Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages reframes our thinking about how to support autistic children. Many autistic children feel like the odd ones out, like they don't quite fit in. Parents of autistic children can feel lost, frustrated and exhausted, trying to help their children fit into a world that has narrow expectations of what a child 'should' be. Helen Daniel, a late diagnosed neurodivergent adult, weaves together autistic lived experiences and scientific studies. She discusses how Neurosensory Divergence can change everything for autistic children - informing autistic languages and ways of being. Alongside highlighting how society often fails to adequately support the sensory aspects of autistic profiles. Helen offers a roadmap – a societal shift – for the understanding of autistic languages and an equitable life for our autistic children."
