About this book
How can a collation of blog posts demonstrate the many elements of Autistic lived experience and guide readers on how to support development and change?
Reflecting on their personal experience, author and advocate Yenn Purkis curates a series of blog posts, reflecting on the many aspects of living with Autism including identity, community, relationships, sexuality and gender diversity, mental health, and self-advocacy.
Providing an analysis on how these topics have been navigated in the past, A Neurodivergent Blogger offers advice and guidance on allyship, and advocacy, with suggestions on how we can improve and support positive change.
Aiming to promote a sense of empowerment, agency, and support, this book is ideal reading for students of Disability Studies, Autism and Autistic Studies, Gender Studies, Queer & LGBT+ Studies, and Social Work, as well as Autistic folk and allies.
