Three autistic kids reflect on the strengths and struggles of living with autism

In Uncommonly Curious, Eternally Autistic, Elijah, Izzy, and Rio explain what it's like to live with autism. They share their special interests, show what helps when they feel overstimulated, and describe how they communicate. For now, they sometimes have to mask their autistic traits to fit in and be safe, but they believe in a future where the world will make space for them, just as they are. Together, the three children learn, play, and celebrate the many ways they are autistically amazing.

  • Written by an autistic author, drawing on her own experience
  • Depicts three autistic kids who explain special interests, stimming, masking, and other autistic experiences
  • Celebrates autism joy and offers an empowering self-representation for autistic kids
  • Helps children develop empathy and understanding with first-person storytelling from a child's perspective

The Disability Books for Kids series explores visible and invisible disability in the first person, as seen through the eyes of children and written from lived experience. The series builds allyship, challenges ableism, and celebrates difference, empowering and educating all readers. Each book includes an author's note to the reader.
