Written by a hugely popular actor and autism advocate, this book is for neurodiverse Gen Z-ers looking for an inspirational mix of real-life advice with a heartfelt personal story.

ARE YOU READY TO BECOME AUTHENTICALLY, AUTISTICALLY YOU?

Bradley Riches is an award-winning actor, but until he found his voice at theatre school aged ten, he spoke only a few words. Fast-forward a decade, and he not only appears on-screen, he’s also a confident advocate for autism awareness. In this warm-hearted book, he tells us his story and shares the toolkit of tips that have helped him thrive.

  • Getting a diagnosis
  • Autism and gender
  • Flourishing in education and work
  • Tapping into creative passions
  • Finding your community

With cutting-edge research from the charity Autistica throughout, plus advice for supportive family members and friends, this life-changing book will empower you to embrace your unique mind!
