Welcome to Autistic Realms Newsletter!

​
The days are counting down to the release of mine and
David Gray-Hammond's new workbook to support our upcoming
on-demand training course:

Re-Storying Autism - A Framework For Families, Parents, And Carers: Reimagining Support For Autistic People.

I am thrilled to announce that Kelly Mahler has read an advanced copy of the workbook and given us this incredible endorsement!

Re-Storying Autism offers a rare blend of autistic-led theory, science, lived experience, and practical application that reshapes how families understand support. I especially appreciate how it centers sensory experience, interoception, burnout, identity, and belonging as foundational, not secondary. The reflection questions woven throughout consistently guide curiosity and thoughtful growth. This is the kind of resource that helps people build environments where Autistic people can live with more felt safety, dignity, and self-trust. Highly recommend.
— Kelly Mahler, OTD, Author of The Interoception Curriculum

Finally....... here is a Penguin Pebble for you all!
​
​Penguin Pebbling is an Autistic love language. It is a way of showing you care by sharing a meme or a pretty stone to say “I'm thinking of you.” Inspired by penguins who gift pebbles to those they care about.

Looking forward to sharing more blogs, resources, research and upcoming events soon!
