Do you love systems?

In this episode of the author interview series Danielle Richard, an autistic graphic designer, talks about her book about systems. Many autistics have an affinity for systems and are good at designing and using them.

Danielle’s book, System Redesign Handbook for a Humane Era: Harnessing 12,000 Years of Knowledge to Edit Systems for Human Thriving delves into the importance of designing systems that give us control and autonomy.

Danielle talks about how school systems can be more flexible and relevant for autistics. She even shares three “moonshot” ideas for a better world.

This is a special episode where you will hear the first fifteen minutes of Annie Kotowicz’s new book, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic, Unpuzzling a Life on the Autism Spectrum. The book is available in both a text and audio version. Check the links below.

Annie’s website: https://neurobeautiful.com/
Book link: https://neurobeautiful.com/book/

From Annie's website:

This intimate and insightful mix of memoir and manifesto takes you inside an autistic mind, exploring the trials and triumphs of a life before and after diagnosis.

How might it feel to be autistic? Why are autistic and non-autistic people so puzzling to one another? How does neuroscience explain the spectrum of autistic traits? And what could you discover about your own mind — neurotypical or neurodivergent — through learning about another?

Written by an autistic author and narrated by an autistic actor, What I Mean When I Say I’m Autistic offers help and hope to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the autism spectrum. It's a nuanced analysis of autistic thinking, an engaging guide to autistic thriving, and a beautiful celebration of autistic brains.

Narrator: Meredith Aleigha Wells
