We’ve got something BIG to share with you!

We’ve got something exciting to share with you today…

All week, we’ve been hinting at “an announcement” and a “big reveal”.

For months, we’ve been working together on a big project, creating a workbook designed to help Autistic adults understand their own Autistic identities and what being Autistic means to them on an individual level.

Even today, many of the resources available are for children and their parents, but we’re trying to change that.

Today, we finally get to share our “big surprise” with you all.

So, what’s all the fuss been about? What is it that we’re so excited to share?

Well… today we’re revealing something BIG – the cover art and the full title of our workbook ‘Autism, Identity and Me – A Practical Workbook to Empower Autistic Adults.’

In the middle of the flower and the cover, in white text, it reads “Autism, Identity and Me,” and at the bottom of the image, in gold and pale teal text, it reads “A Practical Workbook to Empower Autistic Adults,” which wraps around the bottom of the flower.

Please, can we take a moment to appreciate the wonderful illustration, not created by AI, but by a REAL HUMAN – the wonderfully talented Autistic artist Carrie Schneider?

Isn’t it beautiful????

As we get closer to the book’s release this fall, it is really starting to feel a lot more real now.

As we get closer to the book’s release, our biggest obstacle will likely be getting the word out about this one (since social media often downranks creators’ and writers’ posts whenever we share about our projects). That’s where YOU come in, because we NEED your help to get this one into the hands of people who desperately need it.

How can you help?

By spreading the word, commenting on, engaging with, and sharing our posts, and helping us tell the world about this workbook filled with lifesaving information that Autistic adults need.

As we get closer to the release, pre-orders will also be critical, as will requesting that local stores put this vital workbook on their shelves. But, for now, what we need most is help getting the word out that this workbook is coming.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release day.
