"This book should be in every school, library, diagnosis centre, and therapist's office." — Brian, Autism Support Community.

" Thank you, Callum. This book has been so important for my 13 year old son and I. It is the first book about autism he has wanted to engage with, and it has really helped us have open conversations. "
— RW (Amazon Customer)
" This book is very good and helps me understand my daughter's autism."
— Paula (Amazon Customer)
" I got this book after hearing about it on social media. I have been reading it every night with my 7-year-old who is autistic, specifically Pathological demand avoidance. He has found it very reassuring that other children have felt the same as him, and I find it invaluable to understand how he views the world. As he grows into a teenager, it will really help him. Great book. "
— Mrs T Flower (Amazon Customer)
This book should be in every school, library, children's hospital, diagnosis centre and therapist's office. It is an insightful resource that would greatly enhance the quality of support and understanding and foster greater inclusion.
Callum, you should be so proud of your work, ethos, and ability to advocate. I look forward to following your continued success and fully recommend this fantastic resource. Thank you."
— Brian, Autism Support Community

Since then, Callum has also written and illustrated two children's books that embody his trademark authenticity and empathy, allowing young readers to see themselves reflected in the pages and feel seen, heard, and valued.
Now in his twenties, Callum is currently working on his highly anticipated second memoir, set to release in 2025—a continuation of his journey and a deeper dive into life as an autistic young adult.
