Book giveaway: Sincerely, Your Autistic Child

Anthologies are awesome! Here’s a brand new one published by Beacon Books Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity. For more, check out my interview with the co-editors Emily Paige Ballou, Sharon daVanport, and Morénike Giwa Onaiwu. For more information, go to the Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network. From the publisher:

From childhood and education to culture, gender identity, and sexuality, this anthology tackles the everyday joys and challenges of growing up while honestly addressing the emotional needs, sensitivity, and vibrancy of autistic kids, youth, and young adults. Contributors reflect on what they have learned while growing up on the autism spectrum and how parents can avoid common mistakes and overcome challenges while raising their child.

Part memoir, part guide, and part love letter, Sincerely, Your Autistic Child is an indispensable collection that invites parents and allies into the unique and often unheard experiences of autistic children and teens.
