Growing Up Autistic (finding your way with simple strategies)

Illustrated B&W book introducing autistic children to simple yet life-transforming sensory and emotional strategies with the help of three neurodivergent characters

Packed with simple strategies, this illustrated book helps autistic kids to cope with everyday life. Niamh Garvey, along with her three neurodivergent characters, gives advice on how to deal with big feelings, sensory overload, school, meltdowns, and change.

Being autistic means experiencing the world in your own way.

Sometimes the modern world isn't well designed for autistic people, and how we experience things differently. This friendly, illustrated book is packed with simple ideas to help with everyday autistic life, like big feelings, busy senses, school days, meltdowns, and changes to your routine.

There's no "right" or "wrong" way to be autistic, and this book isn't about changing who you are.

It's about figuring out what helps you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.
