Neurodiversity Squirrels is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces young readers to the world of neurodiversity through several endearing characters who just happen to be squirrels. Each character embodies different neurodivergent traits—such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and synesthesia—portrayed not as deficits, but as colorful possibilities. The book aims to foster understanding, empathy, and respect for neurological differences. Through storytelling and emotionally resonant illustrations, the book creates a safe and engaging space for conversations about inclusion and diversity.

The author’s autistic son inspired her to write this book. It is her hope that Neurodiversity Squirrels will help children everywhere to embrace and celebrate their unique abilities.

When young people have questions about a brother or sister with autism or Asperger's Syndrome, clear answers can be hard to find. Written by Eve Band , Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, this book gives voice to ten-year-old Emily's story: her questions about her brother, her search for answers about autism, and her exploration of her feelings as a sibling of a young man with autism. Told in her voice, Emily's story is as uplifting as it is filled with valuable information for parents and siblings, or any individual whose life is touched by a person with high-functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome.

I have an Autism BOOST. I am ME.
There are so many things that make me, me. There are so many things that make you, you.
But one thing I have, that you may not, is an autism BOOST. Come on and I’ll tell you all about it!

There are many books that describe how kids with autism are different and explain the challenges they face. Here’s one special picture book that focuses on what is awesome about autism. This book celebrates all that is special about each individual and explains the benefits of each extra potential autism boost. Other resources will talk about the challenges that come with ASD; here is a book for kids that celebrates the honesty, creativity, integrity, and brilliant logic that the autism boost brings.

Do you have a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or related special needs for your child? Are you asking yourself…

What can I do about it?

Where should I seek help?

Should I focus on just specific therapies?

Can I outsource this intervention and not get involved?

How can I get my child out of early intervention programs and back to mainstream schools?

A Parents Guide to Early Intervention will help you navigate the questions above with simple step-by-step processes. The Comprehensive Model for Early Intervention (CMEI) was developed by Alex Liau, who has worked with children with special needs for the past 15 years. Alex has combined his experiences in working with parents in Asia, United States, Australia, and Europe in crafting early intervention plans for children with special needs to teach parents:

1. How to structure the home environment to optimize learning for their children with special needs
2. Simple one-on-one activities (done in a structured manner) to help their children develop good work habits
3. How to transit what is learned in a one-on-one setting to a small-group setting to build “pre-preschool” skills
4. How to generalize what is learned in a small early intervention group setting into a bigger mainstream classroom setting
5. How to build basic social skills for children with special needs to cope with the mainstream school environment
6. What parents can do to help their children with special needs navigate this model successfully

Alex believes that parents play an integral part in the development of a child with special needs. CMEI breaks down the various steps parents can take to oversee and be INVOLVED in their children's intervention plan.

Jerry Newport, diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome / High Functioning Autism at age 47, wrote this book for those with developmental disorders, but it resonates with people with any disability. His message: everyone has the power, and the right, to improve the quality of their lives despite their disability. Don't believe you must be "normal" to be happy; learn to co-exist with neuro-typicals, and become the best human being you can be. Jerry candidly reveals his own failures and successes. His heartfelt advice stems from a deep sense of caring for "his people" on the spectrum. If you read only one personal account about autism, this should be it!
