Favorite Quote
Autism is a disability – this is something everybody needs to be absolutely clear about. Some autistic people may like to say it isn't, and to those I say fair enough … but the reality is that to be autistic in this world, the way society works, is to be considerably disabled.

Introduction
Even though the language we use to talk about neurodiversity has expanded in the 21st century, long-standing social norms still make the lives of neurodivergent people much harder than they should be.
Pete Wharmby is an author, public speaker, and disability rights advocate.
Diagnosed with autism at the age of 34, Wharmby abandoned his career as an English teacher and started raising public awareness about autism.
Based on Wharmby's personal experience, his 2023 book, Untypical, explores how society often harms and excludes autistic people.
