Social Stories that represent Autism
Meet Adrián and Guillermo: two amazing autistic boys who show kids that being different is being extraordinary. Through their adventures, children see themselves reflected in stories that celebrate autism, not hide it.
Perfect for:
- Parents seeking books their autistic child will actually connect with
- Teachers building libraries that include every student
- Therapists using stories to teach social skills naturally
- Extended family (grandparents, cousins, babysitters) learning to understand autism
- Classmates who want to be better friends
“Finally, books where my son sees himself as he is.” — Maria, parent
What makes these different: Real autistic experiences written by parents who live this journey daily. No “overcoming” autism, just celebrating it.
Our boys, Adrián and Guillermo, take readers on adventures that aren’t just stories, they’re windows into a world where autism is celebrated. Our books are not only for autistic kids and their families but also for teachers looking to create more inclusive classrooms, caregivers like grandparents, cousins, and babysitters who want to better understand autism, and friends who wish to learn and support the autistic children in their lives.
If you’re looking for books that resonate with your child’s experiences and offer support, you’re in the right place.

Why we created these books
After our boys’ diagnoses, we searched for books with autistic characters who felt real, children navigating sensory overload, managing transitions, understanding their own emotions. Books that showed autism as it actually is, not as a problem to solve.
We couldn’t find them, so we created them.
Our books aren’t just stories, they’re tools for understanding, conversation starters for families, and mirrors where autistic children can see themselves represented honestly.

Building understanding, one story at a time.
Real Characters. Real Experiences. Real Connection.
Autism: Confidence Starts Here
Join Adrián as he learns to recognize what makes him authentically autistic, his detailed thinking, his honest communication, his unique perspectives. This isn’t about building confidence despite being autistic, but learning to understand and accept himself as he is. Perfect for home reading, classroom inclusion lessons, and therapy sessions focused on identity and self-advocacy.
Autism: My Invisible Backpack
Meet Adrián as he discovers his amazing ‘invisible backpack’, filled with all the strengths, talents, and emotions that make him uniquely autistic. Perfect for building self-advocacy skills at home, in therapy sessions, and classroom discussions about neurodiversity. Helps autistic children name their strengths while teaching neurotypical peers about different ways of experiencing the world.
Autism: Calming the Chaos!
When Adrián’s sensory system gets overloaded, he learns that his big feelings are valid and his body’s responses make perfect sense. This story reframes ‘meltdowns’ as communication, teaching regulation strategies that honor autistic nervous systems. Essential for parents, teachers creating sensory-friendly classrooms, and therapists working on self-regulation without shame.
Party Time for Adrián!
Adrián loves parties and wants to celebrate with friends, he just needs to plan ahead for the sensory experience. This story shows how autistic children can fully participate in social events with the right preparation, not by changing who they are. Ideal for teaching neurotypical children about inclusion and helping parents, teachers, and party hosts create genuinely welcoming celebrations.
Autism: A New School Year
Adrián prepares for a new school year by creating visual schedules, meeting his new teacher, and planning sensory breaks. A practical guide disguised as a story, showing families how to prepare for transitions while giving teachers insight into what autistic students need to thrive. Includes discussion questions for classroom use and family preparation strategies.
