A Story About Friendship, Celebration, and Being Authentically Yourself
Helping autistic children navigate social gatherings with confidence and joy.
Every Child Deserves to Celebrate Their Own Way
Parties can be exciting… and overwhelming. Loud music, bright lights, unfamiliar faces… for many autistic kids, these joyful moments can also bring sensory overload.
In Autism: This Is How I Party, join Adrián as he learns to prepare for a friend’s birthday celebration in a way that feels safe, fun, and true to himself. With the help of his family, Adrián discovers that parties don’t have to mean pretending or pushing through discomfort, they can be adapted, understood, and enjoyed authentically.
Through vibrant illustrations and gentle storytelling, this book teaches children that inclusion isn’t about changing who they are, but about being accepted for how they experience joy.
