This is Me & ASD
by Madison Hughes

Grayson is an autistic child learning how to navigate the world in his own unique way. Through gentle, rhyming storytelling, this book provides insight into the experiences and perspectives of an autistic child, helping caregivers, educators, and the general public better understand autism at a young age. It celebrates neurodiversity, encourages empathy, and promotes inclusivity by showing how every child’s way of thinking, feeling, and communicating is valuable. By embracing and uplifting autistic individuals, we create a more accepting society where everyone is valued for who they are. Come see the world through Grayson’s eyes—you just might learn something!
