“Autism, Not Attitude is a powerful and deeply authentic perspective of a remarkable mind navigating both extraordinary ability and profound challenge, thoughtfully combining the clinical side with the lived experience. With courage, clarity, and vulnerability, Felicia shares how she analyzes and systemizes the unpredictable complexities of human interaction, leadership, and belonging. Her story is as moving as it is illuminating—your eyes moisten when she struggles, and you cheer when she triumphs. Felicia and Nancy’s insights reveal the true strength and beauty of neurodiversity. Strongly recommended for leaders, educators, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of neurodiversity—and the courage it takes to live and lead as one’s authentic self.”

“As a mother who has raised two now-adult offspring who are on the spectrum, I wish I had had this book when they were little. This is a useful guide for anyone who cares about helping others move through the world, especially if they, a loved one, or a colleague, are autistic. It covers autism in the workplace and at home: Employers and managers especially could benefit because this book will help them understand the value of their autistic team members and how to help those employees fully participate at work. For autistic people and their families, this book provides insight into ways to live together and make reasonable changes to help everyone function to their best abilities.”

“Autism, Not Attitude is transforming the narrative on autistic adults by shedding light on both neurotypical and neurodivergent perspectives of the autistic experience. This resource bridges the gap between different views, enabling professionals to grasp the previously unseen obstacles that have hindered their colleagues, employees, clients, and even themselves. These obstacles can be accommodated and overcome, fostering deeper relationships through understanding and enabling autistic individuals to realize their full potential.”
