We believe that knowledge is power, and we want to see a world where Autistic children grow up learning that their brains are awesomely different. We want Autistic children to learn how wonderfully strong they are, how beautifully unique, and how completely whole they are.
Reframing Autism is different. We are a charity run by Autistic people, for Autistic people, and for our families and allies. Everything we do is informed by our own personal lived experiences as Autistic individuals ourselves, who love, work with, support and parent other Autistic people. But we also look to the most innovative, respectful, inclusive research, coproduced with the Autistic community, to supplement our knowledge and experiential expertise.
This combination of lived experience and research means that Reframing Autism offers a respectful, affirming, and evidence-informed approach to Autism.
Remarkable Remy is a warm and optimistic story that introduces an Autistic character to a young audience. The story helps explain the Autistic brain – how it works a little differently and how unique it is – and how our neurodivergent friends make the world remarkable!
My best friend’s name is Remy. I think Remy is remarkable.
Remy is Autistic. That means Remy’s brain works differently to my brain.I love that Remy is different to me, because Remy can teach me new ways to experience the world.
A picture book for both Autistic and non-Autistic readers aged 3 and up, Remarkable Remy illuminates the experiences and strengths of Autistic people, and the joys of having Autistic friends.
