The Case of Sensational Stims

Do you struggle to explain what autism is? Do you want to be an ally but are unsure how? Do you want to help autistic friends and don't know where to start? Are you neurodiverse and struggle to explain your needs? This book is a simple approach to genuinely understanding autism so that we can all be better allies.


Autism is not a tragedy, but people can only celebrate neurodivergence when they understand what it actually means. Autistic people need others to honor and respect their needs. The Case of Sensational Stims demonstrates how to embrace and accommodate the needs of the neurodivergent person in your life.

Joey is an autistic main character that offers genuine representation of disability.
