Autism, The Invisible Cord: A Sibling’s Diary
Sure, everyone at school knows about Ezra. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. But I don't talk about him to anyone but Zoe…I rarely talk about him even to her. She doesn't ask and I don't tell. If I were to bare my soul about Ez, I'd worry she might turn against him or think less of me or say something about him I couldn't forgive. So I stay silent. Meet Jenny — a teen who confides in her diary about what it is like to live with Ezra, her younger brother with autism, and her life with the most "wacky, exasperating, infuriating, amazing younger brother!" If living with Ezra weren't hard enough, Jenny must deal with school bullies, rude classmates, and fragile friendships. But with the promise of a summer writing program and an Ezra-inspired project, Jenny finds the courage to be more than just "Ezra's sister, protector, defender, and his best and only friend," and loosens the invisible cord just enough to follow her own dreams.

The Autism Advice Book I Wish I Had: Every piece of advice I have
Following the success of my first book ~ Life According to Finn: The Positive Side of Autism, I thought I would write a second book, focusing on advice. My book is specifically for parents and carers of autistic children and teenagers. I wanted to share every piece of advice that I have so that I can help other parents with their own journey through Autism. I am not an expert but I do have two teenagers with autism, so I have lots of experience. I have discussed every issue that might arise and offered advice for all of them. I wanted to give advice as myself and from my own experiences. I wanted to speak plainly without the use of complex words and medical terms so that it would be easier for people to read. While I do not know everything, I have tried my best to cover the most common problems in Autism.
