Description

Is Autism a Disorder?
An eBook from our Autistic Wellbeing Series By David Gray-Hammond, Tanya Adkin, and Helen Edgar

Reframing Autism, Empowering Autistic Lives

At a time when mental health struggles within the Autistic community are reaching crisis levels, “Is Autism a Disorder?” offers a radical, neuro-affirming approach that redefines what it means to support Autistic wellbeing.

What’s Inside?

This  collection draws from our monthly Autistic Wellbeing webinars and brings together lived experience and upto date research to address:
Autistic Burnout and Atypical Burnout
Monotropism and Mental Health
The Hidden Costs of Masking
Energy Accounting and Cognitive Labour
The Double Empathy Problem
Sensory Trauma and Environmental Fit
Victimisation and Intersectionality
The Six Stages of Autistic Discovery

Our short e-book is rich with insight, community voices, and practical resources for Autistic people, families, educators, and professionals alike.

Why Read It?
Because Autistic people deserve to live well—not merely survive!

This eBook challenges the deficit model of autism and instead centres Autistic ways of being as valid, valuable, and in need of respect and understanding. Download it. Share it. Use it. This is more than a resource, it’s a movement toward Autistic liberation, wellbeing, and self-advocacy.
