Julie Farrell, Fergus Murray & Lucy Rose: Someone Like Me image
Synopsis:

Society often puts us into boxes, watering down a diversity of experiences into one singular story. Someone Like Me says: no more. This non-fiction anthology, edited byClem Bastow and Jo Case, offers an eclectic mix of stories from Autistic writers to expand our understanding of the Autistic experience. Join contributors Fergus Murray, Julie Farrell, and Lucy Rose as they explode stereotypes and discuss everything from intrusive thoughts and Autistic affirmation in families to stargazing and mermaids. Chaired by Lynsey Rogers.
