Join Hudson Valley Books for Humanity 67 Central Ave, Ossining, this Wednesday, March 20, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm for a frank conversation about the collective experiences around autism when three contributors, Liz Gabor, Heidi Rome, and Richard Schreiber, discuss the book and their experiences.

Liz Gabor, Heidi Rome, and Richard Schreiber – contributors to “Superheroes on the Spectrum”

Superheroes on the Spectrum is a groundbreaking book that transcends boundaries, unveiling a kaleidoscope of voices that span the spectrum of autism. The 33 contributors, hailing from the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa, invite you to learn about their diverse perspectives, experiences and insights as they share their personal stories.

At its core, this book champions a philosophy of awareness, acceptance, and celebration. It’s a testament to the resilience and strength of autistic individuals of all ages, from non-speaking children to adults, and the unwavering support of parents, family members and community. In a world where neurodiversity is often misunderstood, Superheroes on the Spectrum redefines the narrative.

This book is about honoring the richness of our collective experiences while fostering a deeper understanding of autism. Inside these pages, you’ll discover the power of embracing differences and celebrating the unique gifts that neurodiversity bestows upon us. It’s a beacon of hope in a world where judgment and criticism have no place.
