Autism Self-Discovery Companion: Unmask. Explore. Create. - Paperback

by Lil Penguin Studios (Author)

What kind of book is this?

Honestly? A little bit of everything.

A visual guide.

A journal.

A scrapbook.

A creative space to explore what being autistic means to you.

Written and hand-drawn by an autistic artist, the Autism Self-Discovery Companion starts each topic with lived-experience examples and simple visual explanations.

Then you take over.

Circle what fits.

Cross out what doesn't.

Add your own examples.

Write. Draw. Doodle. Collage.

Explore masking, sensory experiences, stimming, special interests, autistic exhaustion, routines, decision-making, meltdowns, self-advocacy, and more.

Notice patterns.

Find words for hard-to-explain experiences.

Understand what helps.

Communicate what you need more clearly.

And most importantly, be kind to yourself. You deserve it.
