"This is truly a celebration of neurodiversity that goes against decades—perhaps centuries—of stigma and tells kids that stimming isn't just OK; it's liberating. A beautiful book with an important message for autistic children and those who know them." —Kirkus Reviews
Steve Asbell was diagnosed with autism as an adult and draws a comic strip called Stimmy Kitty that shares childhood experiences through an autistic lens. As a member of SCBWI, he won the Rising Kite Award for illustrations. His debut picture book Flap Your Hands celebrates stims–the repetitive movements that provide focused stimulation to people on the autistic spectrum.
