A free book club for parents & professionals looking to expand their understanding of autism with a community of like-minded people.
By various autistic authors and edited by Emily Paige Ballou, Sharon daVanport & Morénike Giwa Onaiwu
A diverse collection of autistic voices that highlights how parents can avoid common mistakes and misconceptions, and make their child feel truly accepted, valued, and celebrated for who they are. Most resources available for parents come from psychologists, educators, and doctors, offering parents a narrow and technical approach to autism. Sincerely, Your Autistic Child represents an authentic resource for parents written by autistic people themselves. From childhood and education to culture, gender identity, and sexuality, this anthology tackles the everyday joys and challenges of growing up while honestly addressing the emotional needs, sensitivity, and vibrancy of autistic kids, youth, and young adults. Contributors reflect on what they have learned while growing up on the autism spectrum and how parents can avoid common mistakes and overcome challenges while raising their child. Part memoir, part guide, and part love letter, Sincerely, Your Autistic Child is an indispensable collection that invites parents and allies into the unique and often unheard experiences of autistic children and teens.
For those passionate about autism acceptance, advocacy, and understanding, Rebecca’s Ausome Reads Book Club is a place to dive into compelling reads, engage in meaningful discussions, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Our book club aims to read books in order to understand autism, neurodiversity, and the neurodiversity movement better so that we as parents and professionals can make the world a more inclusive place for our neurodiverse friends and family.
Come join us to deepen your knowledge of autism and learn how to connect with your neurodiverse loved ones in more meaningful ways.
Have you been wanting to expand your knowledge about autism but just find it hard to carve out the time? Use the power of a like-minded group to keep you motivated to stay on track! Plus, we can all use some more community in our life, right?
I know life is busy, so I've broken up our reading schedule into manageable chunks so that it's easy for you to stay on track with the reading.
In all things in life, consistency is key. Our book club helps you build that positive momentum and connections with others in the group.
Like-Minded Community
