What is Autism? Reflections from the Neurodiversity Paradigm
"Neurodiversity can be seen from three aspects: as a biological fact, as a paradigm and as a movement. As a paradigm, it teaches that there is no ""normal"" type of brain and that each brain type contributes to human biodiversity and creativity. In this book, Ernesto Reaño (psychologist and autistic) reflects on his work on autism from the paradigm of neurodiversity. Various topics are considered: the origin of autism, diagnosis, neurodiversity, myths and supposed cures, the role of caregivers, sexuality, adult life, electronality, trauma, autistic identity, among others."

We aspire to show the world that though they can’t speak, they have so much to say and they deserve an equal opportunity irrespective of their communication style.

We are back with the second volume to carry forward the legacy and conquer unchartered paths. Our co-authors are here to win your hearts and aspire to create a more inclusive and neurodiversity friendly society through sharing their lived experiences and self-advocacy.

Sensory Sensitivity Unleashed
This is the 3rd book in a line I have begun writing to help those who don't already understand Autism. I am very passionate about these topics because I too am on the spectrum and have spent the last 15 years of my life dedicated to working in mental health. For most of my life I just felt like I was different, weird and sometimes unwanted. I didn't understand what was keeping me in misery until I learned about Neurodiversity and how it is simply a 'Different-ability' and not about the stigma of a 'Dis-ability'. I believe the rest of the world would benefit from this understanding, hence the books. These titles are meant for Parents, Teachers, Doctors, Nurses etc. who want to understand autism and how to better work with those on the spectrum.

In the intricate dance of my journey, the road to rediscovering ""normalcy"" wasn't a swift transition after my sessions with a therapist and consultations with a Nutritionist.
