Fern Brady!

There's not a lot of autistic female representation. Finally, having someone to look up to, someone who went through eerily similar things to you is so strangely and wonderfully freeing. I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did as a kid, but having some solidarity and understanding is incredible. I feel so seen and validated. 

I'm so thrilled and grateful that, due to my splendid boyfriend and his lovely daughter, I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting Fern Brady. She was hilarious on stage (obviously) and kind enough to chat with fans after the show. She signed my book, and I teared up as I thanked her for writing it. Thank you for being you, Fern. Thank you for what needed to be said.
