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.

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: Confidence Starts Here
Join Adrián as he celebrates everything that makes him authentically autistic, his detailed thinking, his honest communication, his unique perspectives. This isn’t about building confidence despite being autistic, but because of it. Perfect for home reading, classroom inclusion lessons, and therapy sessions focused on identity affirmation and self-advocacy development.
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.
