Make You Mine This Christmas: 'The queer Christmas rom-com I've been waiting for' LAURA KAY

Product Information

Make You Mine This Christmas is described by the publisher as "a brilliantly funny and utterly swoon-worthy rom-com loaded with fake dating hijinks and jaw-dropping drama". A graphic novel that tells the story of Marguerite, a woman who realises that she might be autistic. Stunningly told through beautiful art with great use of colour. Sitting somewhere between memoir and popular science, Dr. Pang explores the oddities of human behaviour, examines it through her autistic and ADHD lens and relates it to what she knows best — hard science. Contains some really interesting suggestions about planning days in relation to modelling. I loved this one so much. Everyone who loves Kiss Her Once for Me needs to read this one immediately!

Make sure you start on a day where your schedule is clear, and start early. So you can savour this in one sitting.

'The queer Christmas rom-com I've been waiting for' LAURA KAY

I just want and need everyone to love this book because it was just so wonderful. And so hilarious. All the Weight of our Dreams: On Living Racialised Autism edited by Lydia X. Z. Brown, E. Ashkenazy and Morénike Giwa Onaiwu Look, it was only because I didn't want you to like throw me out or something. And I was trying really hard to repress everything. You know, just keep it all inside until I just die."

An incredibly well designed and stunning little zine that explores what autism is, how it effects people and what that means, containing some of Megan’s own experiences. Very comprehensive and would make the perfect “so you just got diagnosed” gift. I recommend getting a physical copy because it’s so beautiful. Available here: https://www.megan-rhiannon.com/shop Memoir Chouette is a dark, engrossing modern fable about mothering an unusual child who doesn't act or look like the others. Tiny dreams of her owl-lover, and then the next morning finds herself pregnant with an owl-baby. When Chouette is born, no one else seems to understand her. Visceral prose exploring motherhood and maternal love, difference and disability, queerness, filled with visceral gut splitting prose. While the owl-ness is not specifically an allegory for disability, much of the way others react to Chouette and Tiny is— the horror and fear of the other, the pressure to conform. Haf and her new friend Christopher end up fake dating and spending christmas at his parents house in Oxlea. The plan hits a bit of a snag when Haf falls in love with his sister, Kit. Grace is a fifteen year old girl living in the North-West of England who lives with her younger sister Leah, her mother and – sometimes – her wildlife filmmaker father. But when her father goes off on his latest shoot, things start to feel a little off-kilter. And she can’t stop thinking about beautiful Gabe Kowalski. After a near-death experience, chronically ill Chloe Brown decides it’s time to live a little, so makes a list of all the bad things she wants to do. And she knows just the man to help her — Red, the superintendent artistic bad boy. Insatiably horny, great fun, incredible chronic pain rep (named as fibromyalgia but reads very like hEDS too).Rep: fat white Welsh bisexual cis female MC (undiagnosed autistic), white British lesbian cis female side character with hEDS, white British questioning-bisexual cis male side character, Asian-British nonbinary side character, various white cishet British side characters. A remarkable, heart-pounding, reinvigorated story of the myths you think you know – with characters you can't forget and prose you will read again and again. Fun, fast, and Welsh legends have never looked this beautiful in print' I was also glad to see how disability was represented. As someone with multiple chronic illnesses and disabled myself, it was heartening to see it broached in a way that meant it was there in an extremely realistic manner. Autism: A New Introduction to Psychological Theory and Current Debate by Sue Fletcher-Watson and Francesca Happé Struggling with Oh Santa!? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos! Oh Santa's gonna come and make him mine this Christmas

If you’re giving this one a go, do yourself a favour and listen to the audiobook. Helen Keeley does such a good job with the voices and brings so much animation to all the chaotic and ridiculous antics of the book. This is one of those books that is 100% better in audio and absolutely had me laughing out loud a few times and smiling a lot (much to my chagrin, I’m sure a few of my neighbors think I’m weird now…if they didn’t already).Luna Rae has just moved to a new house with her family and started a totally new school when her mum disappears. Really, Luna Rae just wants to be a detective, watching the people on her new street, or hiding in the amazing treehouse with her new friend. But when her new school announces a parent-child baking competition, Luna Rae decides this will be the best way to bring her mum home. Mature, compassionate story of having to take charge when the adults won’t or can’t. Love, Partnership or Singleton on the Autism Spectrum & Bittersweet on the Autism Spectrum, both edited by Luke Beardon and Dean Worton In addition to an Ambrose books, I really hope we get one for Bryn! He kept popping up around town and it delighted me every time. And obviously we need to know what happens for Christopher and Laurel, whether together or with others. An essential handbook for adult autistics, particularly those who are diagnosed as adults. The book explores topics such as relationships, executive functioning and stimming, amongst others. The story of Ava, an Irish girl who lands in Hong Kong looking for something new. There she finds English banker Julien who gives her the luxury life she wants, and Edith who fills her heart. A very pithy, smart story about three quite terrible people. While not stated as being autistic characters, I think most autistic people would agree that Ava is one of our own.
