This affirming and compassionate workbook is the perfect companion to Queerly Autistic, the bestselling guide for LGBTQIA+ autistic teens from Erin Ekins.

In Queerly Autistic, Erin Ekins opened conversations around gender, sexuality, relationships and exploring your identity as a queer autistic teen. Now, in this workbook, she empowers you to take a hands-on approach to figuring out how these topics relate to you.

Full of creative activities, games, quizzes and journal prompts, this workbook is designed to help you understand and express yourself. It covers topics from different identities, LGBTQIA+ media and spaces to navigating difficult conversations around coming out, transitioning and consent.

With advice and guidance from sample scripts to resource lists, this book will support you as you discover yourself and your place in the queer community.

A timely and beautifully executed book. -- Con O'Neill, actor and star of Our Flag Means Death

For autistic teens, making sense of gender identity and sexuality can be such a complex and confusing time. This workbook is like a supportive chat with a trusted friend, with Erin guiding the reader with compassion, knowledge and acceptance.
A great strength of this book is its interactivity, through various activities and thinking exercises it creates a safe space for young people to work out how these themes relate to them. This makes for a truly personalised reading experience that centres the experiences of the reader.
The Queerly Autistic Workbook also doesn't shy away from difficult aspects of coming out, consent and online safety. It boldly demystifies these areas so that autistic young people are empowered to set and protect their boundaries.
For any autistic young person with questions around their sexuality or gender, this workbook will be a truly indispensable source of support that will leave them feeling seen and celebrated.

-- Dean Beadle, queer autistic speaker and trainer

Erin has written an incredibly helpful and instructive book for LGBTQ+ autistic people. By breaking down complicated concepts into basic steps, the book offers a helpful roadmap for queer autistic people. Even as a heterosexual autistic dude, I learned a great deal about how to support my queer friends. -- Eric M. Garcia, senior Washington correspondent for The Independent, columnist for MSNBC, author of We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation
Labels tell us what's 'inside' or 'what it's all about'. The Queerly Autistic Workbook does just this. It explains our experience so we can connect to understanding. I've gained deeper knowledge of myself, I'm sure you will too! -- A/Prof. Wenn Lawson, Curtin University, WA
As a queer, neurodivergent creative, I see this workbook as a true act of care. It gives young people permission to explore who they are with imagination, compassion, and pride. -- Fox Fisher, author and artist
