Talking the Talk About Autism
How to share and tell your story
By Haley Moss
The ultimate guide to discussing an autism diagnosis in personal and professional spaces, with advice for both parents and autistic individuals themselves.
As autistic self-advocates, our personal stories hold a lot of power: they are sources of strength, tales of overcoming barriers and adversity, and a way for us to assert agency and receive the support we might need.
But how do you actually disclose your diagnosis? How do you tell teachers, support staff, colleagues, friends, or anybody else about your disability and account for their varied reactions? Or, if you're a parent or ally, how do you tell the person you're supporting about their own neurodivergent identity and culture?
Disclosure is often a thorny topic, but in this powerful and supportive book, Haley Moss explores the language, history, and stigmas that influence how people perceive autism, breaking down ways to approach conversations about neurodivergence in different contexts. By deconstructing fears around disclosure, this book shows how the experience can be made more impactful, safe, and less nerve-wracking for all those involved.

The Red Beast
Helping Children on the Autism Spectrum to Cope with Angry Feelings
By K.I. Al-Ghani, Haitham Al-Ghani
This book has been extremely popular, achieving lifetime sales of over 50,000 copies. The new, inclusive language and illustrations will make sure it covers all children who struggle to regulate emotions, with a less heavy focus on Aspergers Syndrome. Kay Al-Ghani is a well-known author in her field and is releasing a The Red Beast workbook with JKP in 2023.
Deep inside everyone, a red beast lies sleeping. When it is asleep, the red beast is quite small, but when it wakes up, it begins to grow and grow. This is the story of a red beast that was awakened. Danni is in the school playground when his friend, Charlie, kicks a ball that hits him in the stomach, and wakes up the sleeping red beast: `I hate you - I’m gonna get you!
The red beast doesn’t hear the teacher asking if he’s okay. It doesn’t see that Charlie is sorry - how can Danni tame the red beast? The second edition of this vibrant fully illustrated children’s storybook is written for children aged 4-9 and has been updated with inclusive up-to-date language and new illustrations to make sure every child’s red beast can learn to be tamed! This is an accessible, fun way to talk about anger, with useful tips about how to tame the red beast and guidance for parents on how anger affects children who struggle to regulate their emotions.
