Autistics on Autism: The Next Chapter

What happens to autistic children when they become autistic adults?

Building on the success of the Amazon best-seller Autistics on Autism: Stories You Need To Hear About What Helped Them While Growing Up And Pursuing Their Dreams, which topped the charts for Special Needs Parenting, Autistics on Autism: The Next Chapter delves deeper into the lives of autistic adults, featuring more than 75 new stories from autistic individuals within our community. This edition shines a spotlight on their experiences, exploring topics, in part, including their journeys from adolescence to adulthood.

Edited by Dr. Kerry Magro Ed.D., an award-winning speaker, author, autism entertainment consultant, and autistic self-advocate, this book continues the mission of amplifying the voices of those on the spectrum. Dr. Magro, who journeyed from being a nonspeaking child to a successful college doctoral graduate in Educational Technology Leadership and professional speaker, shares his insights while celebrating the achievements of others in the community.

Since founding KFM Making a Difference, Dr. Magro has provided partial college scholarships to 150 autistic students, many of whom share their inspiring stories in this book. When you purchase Autistics on Autism: The Next Chapter, all proceeds will support the nonprofit KFM Making a Difference's ongoing efforts to fund scholarships, provide educational resources, and advocate for inclusive opportunities for disabled individuals.

This book is a valuable resource for educators, employers, parents, therapists, autistic self-advocates, and anyone who simply wants to learn more about the autism community. We invite you to explore the journeys of these remarkable individuals as they navigate adulthood, shatter stereotypes, and become the next generation of leaders in the autism community.
