The upcoming book, "THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW,"by Kirsten Larson, illustrated by Cornelia Li, and set for release on September 16, 2025, is aimed at young readers and under 300 words. Initially a biography of the Andromeda Galaxy, it evolved through various approaches, emphasizing the collaborative nature of science and the messy process of discovery.

Autistic women & girls have long been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or unsupported due to outdated stereotypes. In work, education, & society, we must ask: are autistic women & girls recognised, valued, supported, & empowered? Neurodiversity is a vital part of the conversation. #IWD2025

This is such a complex topic…but it is so important to so many. There is no easy solution, but it must remain topic of conversation and continuous improvement #disability #inclusion

Research shows including students with and without disabilities in the same classroom can benefit everyone. Two students with Down syndrome show what can be gained when that happens.
