🌿 Something very special is coming in 2027.
I am delighted to share that I am planning a special celebration for the revised and expanded edition of my book, "A is for Alex: Finding Strength in Little Joys – A Diary of an Autism Mum".
This book is incredibly close to my heart. It tells the story of my journey as Alex's mum — a journey of love, uncertainty, grief, growth, acceptance and discovering strength in the smallest moments.
But it is also about something much bigger.
It is about the emotions parents sometimes struggle to put into words. The expectations we have to reconsider, the challenges we face, the people we meet, and the extraordinary things our children teach us.
My hope has never been simply to sell books. It is to reach families who may be feeling alone, and professionals who want to understand the experiences behind a diagnosis.
I am planning a warm, informal gathering in spring 2027, bringing together families, friends, colleagues and people who have been part of this journey.
There will be readings from the book, conversations, guest speakers, refreshments and, most importantly, an opportunity to celebrate the little joys that connect us.
More details will follow once the publication arrangements are confirmed.
For now, I just wanted to share this exciting next chapter with you.
**A is for Alex. And it always will be.** 💜
