As a mum to two autistic sons, ‘Autistically Me ‘ really touched me.
Reading Bradley’s experiences gave me an even deeper understanding of the world through Bradleys eyes as an autistic person’s . His honesty, humour and openness make this a book both moving and incredibly easy to connect with.

There were so many moments that reminded me of some of what my sons have experienced or tried to express over the years.

Bradley writes with such authenticity that I found myself reflecting on our own family’s journey, and it has reinforced how important it is that autistic voices are heard and listened to.
I am also proud that Bradley is one of our patrons of our charity. The compassion and dedication he shows in supporting the autistic community shines through every page of this book, and it’s clear that he wants others to feel understood, accepted and valued.

I would recommend ‘Autistically Me’ not only to autistic people, but also to parents, carers, teachers and anyone who wants to better understand autism.
It offers genuine insight, encouragement and hope, while reminding us that every autistic person is unique and deserves to be celebrated for who they are.

Thank you, Bradley, for sharing your story so openly. I’m sure it will help countless autistic people and their families feel seen, understood and less alone.

An inspiring, heartfelt easy read that I’d happily recommend to everyone.
