The Actually Autistic Guide: A Helpful, Hilarious, and Definitely Not Definitive Handbook for Living Life On the Spectrum
Globally an estimated 168 million people have autism, and yet resources for the community designed by those who truly understand the disorder first-hand are severely lacking. The result is a culture that stereotypes, underdiagnoses, and excludes neurodivergents, leaving them to make do in a hostile environment, and a society that misses out on all that their outside-the-box thinking could contribute.

Embodying Autism: Make Sense of Sensory Surplus and Embrace Who You Are with Neuroscience and Internal Family Systems
There’s a saying: “If you’ve met one autistic person, you’ve met one autistic person.” Autistic individuals are as varied and different from one another as non-autistics. The difference is that we are often measured against societal standards we cannot functionally meet. Before we can navigate an ableist world and create the change needed to thrive, we must first understand our unique neurotypes and sensory sensitivities, and learn to feel at home in our autistic bodies.

Neurofutures
Rooted in disability activism and social justice discourse, Neurofutures defines, contextualizes, and reframes neurodiversity in its broadest sense―as the infinite variation of human minds. The essays highlight the voices of individuals with experiences of autism, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep-wake differences, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis, and other forms of neurodivergence―experiences that may exist alongside other contexts like race, class, gender, and sexuality. Drawing on insights from literary texts and lived experiences, contributors acknowledge the pains and complexities of cognitive difference while evincing creative, defiant resilience and envisioning futures in which neurodivergence is valued, ableism is opposed, and intersectional justice is possible.
