Written by an autistic mother of two autistic sons and the creator behind the popular @Fidgets.and.Fries social media platform (that's Tiffany!) and illustrated by Kate Cosgrove (IG @k8cosgrove), A Day With No Words successfully normalizes communication methods outside of verbal speech and provides representation of neurodiversity and autism in a way that affirms and celebrates.

partners: Facilitate Joy! LLC, JUSTin HOPE Foundation, Structure3C, The Radical Cat, and the Washoe County Library System.
