PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Laura Kate Dale is a queer trans woman and author, who uses She / Her pronouns. Laura lives near London, UK, with her cat Smudge, and her wife Jane. When Laura isn't writing she loves to play roller derby, and play video games with her friends.
Dale has crafted a magic anthology showcasing so many beautiful reflections on different moments, traits and forms of autistic joy. In a world that wants to only emphasise suffering, this is a gorgeous insight to the true joy being autistic can bring. -- Charli Clement, autistic author & activist Stories of Autistic Joy will inevitably put a smile on your face from the first page. A beautiful compilation of needed perspectives that I see so much of my story in, from relating to my cat's behaviours to surrounding myself with likeminded autistic people for friendship. Truly joyful. -- Ella Willis, Illustrator and Content Creator work Reading this anthology brought me back to the early days after first discovering I was Autistic, when consuming the vlogs, blog posts, and other personal narratives of Autistic people brought me untold comfort and self-recognition. Embracing an Autistic identity can be tricky in a world that sees only the stigma and pain. I know this book will help so many other neurodivergent people begin to see the beauty and joy. -- Dr. Devon Price, author of Unmasking Autism and Laziness Does Not Exist
