For years, I struggled to connect with writing in a way that felt natural.
I enjoyed words. I loved stories.
But something always felt...off. Like I was following someone else’s path instead of creating my own.
Everything shifted the moment I discovered the one thing I truly loved writing about.
That spark changed my relationship with writing—and opened doors I never expected.
Now, after 15+ years as an author—and as someone who’s autistic myself—I’ve turned that experience into something bigger than me.
📚 My talk, “My Writing Journey,” is designed specifically for autistic children aged 7–9.
It’s more than just a story about how I became a writer.
It’s a message of possibility, of representation, and of creative freedom.
I share how I went from feeling stuck to finding my voice, and how they can too—on their terms, in their way.
The talk flows into a hands-on workshop, where we explore an excerpt from one of my children’s books and use it as a jumping-off point for their own writing.
It’s playful, empowering, and deeply affirming.
This isn’t about writing “perfectly.”
It’s about belonging in the world of stories—and realizing that their voice matters.
✨ If you work with neurodivergent students—or know someone who does—I’d love to bring this talk and workshop to your school or library.
Let’s help more autistic children see that their words are powerful, their stories are valid, and their creativity deserves a spotlight.
