About the Book

From leading autistic activist and witty content creator Elora Dodd, star of the popular social media account @online1roomschoolhouse, comes a vibrant activity book that will guide readers through the challenges of life with autism and help foster pride in being neurodivergent.

The Actually Autistic Guide has been carefully crafted by an autistic person for autistic people in order to enable community members to conquer daily challenges head on. The result is a colourful, hands-on volume that covers subjects including stims, burnout, masking, sensory issues, obtaining support, and much more, and has been designed to be interactive, with dozens of diagrams, original illustrations, activities on every other page, and bright, happy colours throughout to give the neurodivergent mind plenty to focus (and hyperfocus) on. It will allow readers a unique way to absorb content and start them on a journey of self-discovery knowing their ability to thrive is limitless.

Globally an estimated 168 million people have autism, and yet resources for the community designed by those who truly understand the disorder first-hand are severely lacking. The result is a culture that stereotypes, underdiagnoses, and excludes neurodivergents, leaving them to make do in a hostile environment, and a society that misses out on all that their outside-the-box thinking could contribute. This book will inspire and help support people of the #actuallyautistic community around the world.

Elora has over seven hundred thousand followers across her social media platforms where she shares anecdotes and personal experiences about what life is like living on the spectrum.
