Happy to announce I've signed a contract for a follow-on book to "Being #Autistic (and what that actually means)", coming in winter 2026. It will focus on tips and tricks for sensory and emotional management. Thanks to all the kids who let me know they wanted a second book, it made it happen!

A brilliant non-fiction book for children by Irish author @niamhgarvey.bsky.social for age 9+. It's easy to read, fun and full of information. Great comic book style illustrations by Rachel Burgess make it a real winner.

Loved this book
Well deserved ❤
Thank you!
My favourite thing about writing for kids is how ridiculous I can go- I recently wrote a scene with a talking bottom, and it made me laugh so much. I will never grow old if I keep this up.

Think the sound of water may be my favourite sound in the world, and it sounds even better after the incessant downpours of rain lately. When it's loud enough to block my thoughts- that is my favourite.
Yuck. And like, why???
