Families with autistic children often find it more stressful to go on vacation than stay home. A new wave of autism-friendly rentals is trying to change that. curbed.com/article/autism-fr…

"Thank you for sharing such a personal and meaningful story. It’s incredibly powerful to see autism represented so authentically, and the bond between Nick and his mother feels so real. I’m sure many readers will connect deeply with this book!

I was so excited to win a copy of
Connor and the Taekwondo Tournament, on @LydiaLukidis's blog. This book/series is written by #neurodivergent author @JenMaliaBooks and features neurodivergent characters. You can read my review here: goodreads.com/review/show/64…

For Autism Acceptance Month, here’s a throwback photo of me signing copies of TOO STICKY! at the American Library Association (ALA) Conference in Philadelphia in January 2020. I had no idea what was coming! 😷 #ActuallyAutistic #ChildrensBooks #AutismAcceptanceMonth

April is Autism Acceptance Month. The Infinity Rainbow Club was featured on the front page of @virginianpilot when it launched. The book series is not so much about neurodivergence as it is about kids who happen to be neurodivergent having fun. #ActuallyAutistic @NaomisLitPix
