Autism: My Invisible Backpack
Meet Adrián as he discovers his amazing ‘invisible backpack’, a powerful metaphor that helps explain the invisible baggage we all carry. Through his journey, the book explores masking and literal thinking in ways children can understand. It also helps explain these concepts while offering tools for gently unmasking and using therapy as a safe space to do so.
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.
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.
Autism: This is How I Party
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.
