One year ago, I published The Boy Who Dreamed Big: How One Boy's Autism Became His Superpower.

I wrote this as a love letter to my younger, and current self. For kids who feel different. For parents who want their children to know they’re enough. For the adults who needed this reminder when they were young, too.

This book came from a very real place in my heart, and watching it make its way into homes, classrooms, bedtime routines, ans around the world has been one of the quiet joys of my life.

If this story has ever crossed your mind or if you know a child who might need it, I’d love for you to read it, share it, or pass it along.

What’s something you needed to hear as a child?

It started with a dream. A boy, a question, a world that didn’t always understand him. But what if difference was never the problem, what if it was the superpower?

The Boy Who Dreamed Big
A celebration of Autism, imagination, and the beauty of being uniquely you.

April is Autism Awareness Month 🥳🥳
For me, this isn’t just about awarenes, it’s about understanding, acceptance, and embracing the beauty of being different.

I’ve come to see Autism not as something to fix, but as something to honor. It’s shaped how I think, how I feel, how I connect, and how I see the world. It is a part of my story, and it is also my strength.

This clip is a moment from a conversation where I share a piece of that journey.

In that spirit, I’m proud to share my children’s book, The Boy Who Dreamed Big: How One Boy’s Autism Became His Superpower: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/the-boy-who-dreamed-big?srsltid=AfmBOoqqEu78izPrBOOIWygUOil329Fe2VTeNAO5W0GEY1Oje8-EDs94

It’s more than a book. It’s a reflection of identity, possibility, and the power of seeing yourself fully and unapologetically.

This month, I invite us all to move beyond awareness. To listen, learn, embrace, and of course...to celebrate. by @dr.dsc

Autism and Giftedness
https://embrace-autism.com/autism-and-giftedness/

I recently came across this article on Embrace Autism, which notes that up to 14% of gifted children may also meet diagnostic criteria for Autism or other neurodevelopmental conditions. As someone who has navigated this intersection myself, the insights felt both fascinating and familiar. It’s a reminder of how important it is to recognize and support the full spectrum of neurodiverse experiences. by @dr.dsc

I'm proud to share my latest article, From Centering Well-Being in Disability Justice, now published with the National Center For Disability, Equity, and Intersectionality.

This work is deeply personal and rooted in my lived experience as an Autistic professional. It explores how we move beyond survival toward liberation, embracing neurodiversity, dismantling ableism, and advancing justice that is truly inclusive.

Whether you're an educator, employer, policymaker, or advocate, I invite you to read, reflect, and join the conversation. Link in my bio. by @dr.dsc
