Welcome to Fidgets and Fries. Somewhat free. Somewhat not. If you’d like to honor my writings with a monetary contribution, thank you. If you already have, thank you. Your support allows me to invest in my writing in a way I hadn’t thought possible as well as pay for my son’s communication lessons. And if you are still an unpaid subscriber, thank you. Cause in a world where everyone wants their eyes on their work, you still chose to put your gaze on mine. This newsletter rests at the intersection of the unserious ramblings of a woman full of buttered rice and dad jokes and the somewhat sophisticated stories and essays of someone who knows just enough “smart” words to sound super intelligent and insightful.
What will today’s newsletter be? Hmm…
We are seeing an increase in books that focus on autism. You ain't ever gonna hear me say this is a bad thing. Nope. We need more. But is what we are getting at the present moment good enough? Or just good period?
And I am not talking about the picture book scene. Not even hitting on the chapter books and middle grade books. Not the fiction stories that have autistic characters either.
So, damn what books are you talking about? So glad you asked.
