I write and speak to Autistic adults, in solidarity and with the message that you are not alone and you are not broken. I also facilitate closed and open peer support groups for Autistic adults, through AANE.
I edited an anthology, Spectrums: Autistic Transgender People in Their Own Words (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2020).
I wrote The ABCs of Autism Acceptance (Autonomous Press, 2016) while traveling. It is an exploration of neurodiversity, acceptance, and Autistic culture in 26 chapters.
My memoir collection , No You Don’t: Essays From an Unstrange Mind (Unstrange Publications, 2013), is currently out of print as I work on an updated edition with a blend of the original material and an updated view of my growth over the decade-plus since I first published it.
In addition to my own books, my work appears in the following anthologies:- Neurofutures (coming 2025)
Sincerely, Your Autistic Child (2021)
Challenging Genders: Non-Binary Experiences of Those Assigned Female at Birth (2018) - Spoon Knife 2: Test Chamber (2017)
- What Every Autistic Girl Wishes Her Parents Knew (2016)
- Typed Words, Loud Voices (2015)
The Real Experts (2015) - Reflections From a Different Journey: What Adults With Disabilities Wish All Parents Knew (2004) (2nd edition, 2011)
I write free-lance for publications like NOS Magazine, The Thinking Person’s Guide to Autism, and Rooted in Rights. For most of 2019 I was a consulting producer on a project featuring Autistic artists: Outside the Lines, a click story on Autistic views of Independence, from National Geographic.
I spent a few years in Colorado, working on an MFA in creative writing and poetics at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.
I am also an artist, composer, and public speaker. I facilitate astro-writing rituals and community for writers and journalers inspired by oracles through Mercury Muse. I’ve spent nine years and counting, traveling the U.S. in a minivan with Fermat the Wonder Cat, seeking adventure and spreading the apple seeds of autism acceptance and Autistic celebration. These days I’m in the unceded territory of the Ohlone people, the so-called Silicon Valley, where I’m working as support staff for a fellow Autist and on a quest to capture the ultimate sandpiper photo.
