And, it's written, for once, by actual AUTISM EXPERTS.

And, here I am happily holding my copy. I am hoping to buy more and donate them to libraries that could use the expertise and insight of Autistics and our allies.
I am now going to go read it! I don't have many words at my disposal today so thought I'd just copy all the links I like, that lead to the Loud Hands Project. Please consider buying more than one copy, if you can, and donating to libraries, autism organizations that have just the usual materials written by non-autistics, and other venues. That ordering site again is Loud Hands: Autistic People Speaking, on Amazon. It's easy to order!
Please spread the word about Loud Hands. It would be wonderful to have hundreds, or even thousands, of copies easily available for Autistic people to read, and for those who want to learn more from our expertise and on-the-ground experiences, insights, and ways of being.
