Championing the true essence of neurodiversity, ‘Standing Up for Myself’ is a groundbreaking book that offers a transformative guide to navigating social complexities for neurodivergent young people. It earns the unique distinction of being the first book endorsed by the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective, positioning itself as an invaluable alternative to traditional social skills training.

Penned by Evaleen, who writes with an exceptional blend of empathy and perspicuity, the book serves as a primer for youngsters, particularly those who are autistic, on a range of pivotal subjects from boundaries and personal space to consent and power dynamics. Far from perpetuating the norms of conventional social hierarchies, ‘Standing Up for Myself’ illuminates the contrasts between Autistic Culture and mainstream social norms, presenting them in an accessible manner that resonates with its youthful audience.

If you’re searching for a resource that genuinely affirms the diverse cognitive styles and social needs of neurodivergent children and teenagers, look no further. ‘Standing Up for Myself’ is a seminal text in empowering the next generation with the self-advocacy skills they need to thrive in a world that’s finally waking up to the value of neurodiversity.
