She previously worked as nurse and has a Diploma in Autism Studies from University College Cork. She lives in Cork with her husband, three neurodivergent children, a handful of hens and some goldfish. Rebecca Burgess is a comic artist and illustrator working in the UK, creating award winning published and small press work. Along with drawing comics for their day job, Rebecca also loves drawing webcomics in their free time. Being autistic, they are particularly passionate about bringing more autistic characters into stories! Outside of drawing and cuddling their cat, Rebecca also loves playing RPGs with friends, going on deep dives into history and growing vegetables in their humble Bristol garden.

This is a fantastic book; a perfect combination of Niamh's wonderfully clear, practical, affirming information and Rebecca's gorgeous illustrations. It is a must read for children and young people, and indeed anyone who wants to learn about autism and being autistic.
