I co-authored an article with Derek Newman-Stille where we discuss some of the gains we have as autistic folks—challenging the narrative that we are “less than.” This is the first time I have ever collaborated on an article, so it was a cool experience.

The featured image in the article is a Gelli art piece created by Derek!
