[Quincy Hansen @AutieSpeaking]

My debut book “Shake it Up!” is now officially out via @JKPBooks. I truly am excited for this first-of-its-kind advocacy guide for autistic teens and young adults, featuring interviews and case studies with 11 young autistic activists from around the world. @JKPAutism

I need to write something about how the high school emphasis on achievement and getting into good universities/getting scholarships has left me with crippling perfectionism and performance anxiety in college.

The answer to ‘how do I make an autistic child eat a meal where the foods are touching and not separate’ is very simple.

Keep the food separate. There is no need to cause them such distress and sensory pain.

@Beyond6S @hmm_cook @rahxrahster Congrats, you two!

[BookNeurd @BookNeurd]

@Beyond6S @AutieSpeaking I loved this one. @AutiSpeaking speaks from experience and is purposely talking to the younger autistics about getting their important messages out there. I am looking forward to hearing what they have to say and seeing the changes they bring 💪

[Quincy Hansen @AutieSpeaking]

@AutisticHelpsU Yeah, although typically someone will call me a friend before I think we’re friends, which I prefer to the alternative of thinking I’m someone’s friend and them thinking otherwise.

@ItsEmilyKaty It was such a privilege to talk with you, Emily! Thanks for being a part of this, I was so happy to include you as a case study.

It was such a privilege to be interviewed for @AutieSpeaking’s advocacy guide for autistic teens and young adults! Hope you enjoy reading it! ☺️

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Yes I do feel like I can seem more ‘childish’ by neurotypical standards, but that’s because I find joy in very small things and autistic joy is expressed wonderfully, not that autistic people are childlike by nature and should be infantilised. Autistic adults are adults.

@AutismAnecdotes @JKPBooks @JKPAutism It’s available on Kindle through Amazon at the link, however I’ve heard from a few people that the official release of the book in OZ is in October, so I’m interested to see if you can get it now!
