Dear Friends,

I want to share something that’s very close to my heart.

We’re offering a free sample of Little Rainman Too! - a book that takes autism understanding one important step further. While the original Little Rainman helped readers observe autism from the outside, this book invites you inside.

The story is told in Jonathan’s own voice, sharing what his world truly feels like - the sensory overload, social confusion, comfort in routines, and the joy he finds in the things he loves. Readers often tell me, “This helped me understand.” That’s exactly why this book exists.

Dr. Temple Grandin wrote:

“This book gives a clear picture of what it is like to be autistic. It will help parents, teachers, and professionals better understand the autistic mind.”

I encourage you to spend a few quiet minutes with Jonathan’s story.

The full book will be available soon, and I look forward to sharing it with you.

I’m also excited to share that a new digital platform is being developed, drawing from more than 35 years of my experience in the autism community. It’s designed to be a valuable resource for everyone in the autism community, and while it’s not quite ready yet, it will be available soon - so please keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share it with you! 💛

If you have any thoughts, reflections, or questions, please feel free to reach out to me anytime at karen@autismtoday.com. Hearing from you is truly one of the best parts of what I do. 

Thank you for being part of this community - for caring, for listening, and for helping us keep autistic voices at the center of the conversation.

Warmly,

Karen
