David Gray-Hammond and Helen Edgar Jan 18   READ IN APP   I’m really pleased to share something that has been growing quietly, carefully, and collaboratively for a long time. Re-Storying Autism: A Framework for Families, Parents and Carers by David Gray-Hammond & Helen Edgar is now available to pre-order. This book exists because too many families are given tools that focus on managing behaviour rather than understanding people. Too often, support starts with correction instead of connection. Re-Storying Autism offers a different starting point. Autism is not a list of behaviours. It is a way of experiencing the world. This workbook brings together Autistic-led theory, lived experience, and relational practice to help families, parents, and carers build environments where Autistic people can live with dignity, safety, and belonging. It is not about fixing, normalising, or forcing compliance. It is about learning how Autistic experience actually works, and responding with care. Inside the book, we explore a six-point framework grounded in: Understanding Autistic experience through concepts like monotropism and the double empathy problem Sensory and emotional landscapes, including interoception and regulation Autistic burnout as a crisis of connection, not resilience Identity, language, and disability models that centre belonging before behaviour Trauma, safety, and the emotional environment Learning from Autistic community as a source of collective wisdom Each section includes reflective questions and practical spaces designed to support real conversations within families; not prescriptive instructions, but invitations to notice, adapt, and collaborate. This book is for families who want to move away from deficit-based narratives. It’s for carers who are tired of being told to push harder. It’s for parents who know, instinctively, that safety and understanding come before progress. If you’d like to explore this work, Re-Storying Autism is now available to pre-order on Amazon kindle (paperback releases on February 16th 2026!): Pre-Order Ebook is 319 pages, paperback is 372 pages! This workbook is packed! Thank you for reading, sharing, and being part of a wider shift toward neurodivergence-competent understanding and care. This book is one small contribution to that much bigger story we are all re-writing together. This Substack is reader-supported.
