THE ACTUALLY AUTISTIC GUIDE (Illustrated Nonfiction, Forthcoming: Apollo Books)

Globally an estimated 168 million people have autism, and yet resources for the community designed by those who truly understand the disorder first-hand are severely lacking. The result is a culture that stereotypes, underdiagnoses, and excludes neurodivergents, leaving them to make do in a hostile environment and a society that misses out on all that their outside-the-box thinking could contribute.

To combat this, The Actually Autistic Guide has been carefully crafted by autistics for autistics in order to enable community members to conquer daily challenges heads on. Authors Elora Dodd, whose social media account buzzing with anecdotes from her experiences as a neurodivergent has acquired more than seven hundred thousand followers, and her fellow activist C. R. R. Hillin, use their signature humor, creativity, and relatability to provide guidance acquired from their own experiences as well as from members of the #actuallyautistic online community.

NOT SO SPECIAL HAROLD (Children’s Picture Book)

Harold has always wanted to make a friend. He didn't need much, just one. The problem was he was too different from his peers to succeed. Considered to be a bit of an oddball by his schoolmates and the kids in his neighborhood, though not odd enough to feel sympathetic toward, Harold has mostly always been alone and he has come to accept that he will always be alone...that is until the fairies come to town.

One night, a large group of fairies descent on the town, looking for a hero, or so they say. Harold quickly finds out from them that a dragon has descended on their village and they need help getting rid of it, lest the dragon eat them all up. Thinking that becoming a hero is sure to win him some friends, Harold offers to help. The fairies are skeptical at first for Harold doesn't seem to be anything that special but in the end, agree to give him a shot. Thus begins Harold's adventure into the unknown. Will he be able to defeat the dragon and save the fairies? More importantly, will be able to make friends along the way and maybe even back home, once tales of his bravery spread far and wide? More importantly, should he have to go to such lengths to make friends in the first place? Could such "friends" truly be worth the name?
