✔ Insight from Dr Chuks Nwuba, author of Eating Disorders Don’t Discriminate
✔ A live Q&A to answer all your burning questions

As autistic self-advocates, our personal stories hold a lot of power: they are sources of strength, tales of overcoming barriers and adversity, and a way for us to assert agency and receive the support we might need. But how do you actually disclose your diagnosis? How do you tell teachers, support staff, colleagues, friends, or anybody else about your disability and account for their varied reactions? Or, if you're a parent or ally, how do you tell the person you're supporting about their own neurodivergent identity and culture?

Talking the Talk About Autism by Haley Moss is your guide to navigating all of these questions and more—whether you're looking to share your own story or supporting someone else. Empowering, insightful, and practical. Available now at www.JKP.com
