15 year old naturalist, activist and conservationist. My debut book, ‘Diary of a YoungNaturalist’ chronicles the turning of my 14th year, charting the wonders of the natural world, the challenges it faces...and my life as an autistic teenager campaigning to make the world a better place. I am currently writing my second book - a picture book about nature - for kids, 6+!

Quotes by Dara McAnulty (?)

“...I love dandelions. They make me feel like sunshine itself, and you will always see some creature resting on an open bloom, if you have a little patience to wait. This vital source for all emerging pollinators is a blast of uplifting yellow to brighten even the greyest of days. It stands tall and proud, unlike all the others opening and swaying in the breeze. The odd one out.”
― Dara McAnulty, Diary of a Young Naturalist

“Many people accuse me of “not looking autistic”. I have no idea what that means. I know lots of ‘autistics’ and we all look different. We are not some recognisable breed. We are human beings. If we’re not out of the ordinary, it’s because we’re fighting to hide our real selves”
