Growing up autistic (finding your way with simple strategies)

I’m currently working on a kid’s book that shares tips and tricks to autistic kids (9+) to make daily life easier. This will include sensory and emotional strategies and is being illustrated by Rebecca Burgess. This book can be read as a standalone book, or as a follow-on to my book “Being Autistic (and what that actually means)” .

Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Estimated date of publication: November 2026

YA (Young Adult) Anthology of Autistic Irish Voices

After the success of the best-selling ‘Wired Our Own Way; An Anthology of Irish Autistic Voices” published by New Island publishers in 2025, the children’s’ and young adult publishers Little Island got in touch about making an anthology for teenage readers. This is an exciting collaboration between the two publishers New Island and Little Island.

This book for teenagers will be a collection of essays by autistic Irish people. It’s turning out to be a remarkable project to edit, with essays coming from a really diverse group of autistic people.

Publishers: Little Island and New Island

Estimated publication date: Spring/ early summer 2027
