Navigate the world of autism with this friendly, full-color guide for those interested in learning more about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), getting an early diagnosis, and recognizing how being autistic can impact a person’s life.

In this first-ever creative guide, author and illustrator Chanelle Moriah offers an interactive tool for both diagnosed and undiagnosed autistics to explain or make sense of their experiences. It also offers non-autistic people the chance to learn more about autism from someone who is autistic.

Packed with full-color illustrations, sensory elements, and spaces for reflection, this book is designed to be personalized to the individual’s experience. I Am Autistic helps people feel less alone in their autism and brings knowledge to an often-misunderstood condition.

 

About the Author

---

Chanelle Moriah (they/them) is a neurodivergent author and illustrator and is the author of the bestselling I Am Autistic. 

They are passionate about creating spaces of understanding to allow the freedom of individual expression. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, with other related conditions and forms of neurodivergence, they are particularly passionate about bringing awareness to the different ways in which neurodivergence can present, and the importance of being able to live your life accordingly. 

They hope that by sharing their life and experiences, and helping others to understand, they are reducing the harm and trauma (even if only for one person) that neurodivergent individuals face in existing in a neurotypical world.

Chanelle lives in Wellington, New Zealand, and enjoys bubble tea, lego, and sitting in the rain.
