Queerly Autistic

This film isn’t about changing autistic people to better fit into the world. It’s about demanding that the world change to fully appreciate and celebrate the wide variety of neurodivergent minds that exist within it.

After more than two years of writing, wrangling and occasionally weeping, my book, Queerly Autistic: The Ultimate Guide for LGBTQIA+ Teens on the Spectrum, is out today!

An up-to-date list of resources on different topics for LGBTQIA+ autistic people, as featured in my book.

The trailer for the Queen biopic is out . So are the criticisms. And I have a few things I would like to say.
