Emma Dalmayne’s little book, It’s an autism thing was a great help to me when I read it shortly after my son’s autism diagnosis. It is a short but powerful read. It helped me dispel all the stereotypes I had previously about autism (I was a teacher, and thought I knew about autism!) and to recognise myself in Emma’s description of what it feels like to be autistic. As well as giving my a massive insight into my son, it in fact helped me recognise that some of the behaviours and incidents I had experienced in my own childhood were likely due to my own autism. The sense of relief at being understood, and at understanding my son better, was enormous. Thank you so much Emma!
Truly, thanks so much for writing this little book

THIS BOOK BY Autistic Inclusive Meets CEO Emma Dalmayne, I was fortunate to be introduced to this organisation during my Tribunal case and received much support, this book is for everyone, whether directly involved with autism or not, about the importance of neurodivergence. Emma, like me, was diagnosed with autism as an adult, this book chronicles personal experiences and well crafted learning guides. Two excellent quotes from this book, which summarise neurodivergence and the fact that autism is nothing to fear, its a positive and neurodivergence applies to everyone, communities, society, schools and of course workplaces.
