Welcome to Autistic Realms Newsletter!The ultimate bundle of neuroaffirming resources is here - and available for a limited time only, and I am honoured to have contributed to support Kieran Rose! 40+ resources worth over £500! Exclusively available to purchase until November 18th 2026 to support Kieran Rose and family. Why The Community Created the Resource BundleShared from Kieran's Website: "When Kieran Rose announced his prostate cancer diagnosis there was a huge outpouring of sadness, love and gratitude from the Autistic community. So many stories were shared on social media about how wholly life-changing – or life-saving – Kieran's work as The Autistic Advocate is for so many people around the world. Kieran has given vast numbers of people the understanding they need to accept themselves and others; to be better people, parents and professionals; or even to still be alive today. Kieran has been, and remains, instrumental in shifting the narrative around autism and Autistic people from pathologisation, disorder and stigma, to difference, disability and hope. The Autistic Advocate is not just Kieran. His wife, Michelle, works behind the scenes doing admin and everything that makes their life-changing work possible. Their vital work supports the family, including their three children. Kieran’s capacity is severely curtailed during treatment and convalescence. Meanwhile, bills still have to be paid. Kieran and Michelle give so much to Autistic people, families, and the professionals who support them. Recognising that they need support in turn, a group of us, led by Jade Farrington, set up a JustGiving page so people can donate if they wish. We also felt that creating this neuroaffirming resource bundle would be a fitting way to support. Contributors have donated their resources for free so that all proceeds help the Rose family. It has been a true community effort! We hope it gets affordable neuroaffirming information into the hands of as many individuals, families and professionals as possible, while giving Kieran the chance to rest and convalesce as needed. Featuring more than 40 neuroaffirming resources from dozens of advocates and practitioners, this is a truly unmissable collaboration offering unbeatable value for individuals, families, and professionals. All sales will help see the Rose family through Kieran's cancer treatment while Kieran - as a self-employed advocate - is unable to work. You’ll find a treasure trove of toolkits, webinars, courses, workbooks, ebooks, workshops, prize draws, and more from creators in the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States, and Australia. The Autistic Advocate is dedicated to creating positive, sustainable and productive change that betters the lives of Autistic people, young and old. Kieran's work has reached millions of people, and transformed the way in which autism and Autistic people are perceived. This bundle brings together an astonishing range of information and support from leading names in neuroaffirming advocacy and practice – all of whom have learned from Kieran including: Kristy Forbes - Autism & ND Support Neurodivergent Rebel Kelly Mahler Autism Level UP The Autistic Advocate Jodie Clarke, Children's Well-being Practitioner & Autism Specialist NDwise Hub Consulting Curiosity Spot Munira - Children's Occupational Therapist AMASE - Autistic Mutual Aid Society Edinburgh Christina Keeble Consulting Bryden Carlson-Giving Joanna Grace Autistically Scott Littlepuddins.ie Aurora Consulting Jill Holly Counselling - NeuroDiversity University Laura Hellfeld Neurodivergent Nurse Consulting Autistic Realms Joleen R.
