Being autistic means experiencing the world in your own way. Sometimes the modern world isn't well designed for autistic people, and how we experience things differently. This friendly, illustrated book is packed with simple ideas to help with everyday autistic life, like big feelings, busy senses, school days, meltdowns, and changes to your routine. There's no "right" or "wrong" way to be autistic, and this book isn't about changing who you are. It's about figuring out what helps you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.

Wired Our Own Way is the first anthology of personal essays written by autistic Irish adults. 2025 figures show that one in twenty Irish schoolchildren are now identified as autistic, and society’s understanding of neurodiversity is evolving rapidly. As awareness grows, many adults are also discovering this aspect of themselves, finding greater clarity and self-compassion in the process.This bestselling anthology explores the profound impact of receiving a diagnosis and highlights the wide range of experiences within the neurodivergent community in Ireland. Through deeply personal and insightful essays, the contributors reveal the many ways this identity shapes their lives – proving there is no single way of being autistic.From meltdowns to mental health, from early diagnoses to late-in-life revelations, and from cultural stereotypes to workplace challenges, this collection offers a rich, multifaceted perspective on life beyond the neurotypical lens.
