“As someone whose passions are learning, reading, and working with autistic people and their families, I tremendously enjoyed reading You, Me, and Autism. The book creates and paints different and unique worlds through elegant and evocative stories, taking the reader through a fulfilling journey of discovery. As such, it can be viewed as a significant literary work. Importantly, to everyone interested in learning about autism from the perspectives of the families, this book offers invaluable insights and should therefore be essential reading for the general public, students, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. Although I have worked in the field of autism for a significant period of time, I have benefited greatly from the diverse perspectives presented in this excellent book. We need more books like this.”

“Using research evidence and diverse lived experiences this is a beautiful exploration of autistic identity as well as practical strategies. It takes a strengths-based approach to understanding autism from core characteristics to daily living, schooling, employment, relationships, disclosure, and wellbeing.”
