Day 2 of our Imagining technologies for disability futures conference and we're working with Dan Waters on a film documenting the event and our research. Here's Dr. Brandy Schillace helping set up the interview space. Looking forward to another great set of presentations and discussion #MedicalHumanities #Disability

Back to work on my next book... I'm behind with the manuscript due to breast cancer in 2022/2023. But I'm looking forward to bringing the world of Victorian forensics to life for readers.

I just arrived at my hotel for Public Library Association … and apparently the PLA housing people deleted my name and added someone else (while keeping our credit card on file). So we’re tracking that down and apparently everyone is sold out… so an interesting adventure ahead of book signing, eh

Today is #WorldAutismAcceptanceDay #WorldAutismAwarenessDay . I wrote We're Not Broken largely because I wanted to move talk away from lies about vaccines or a focus on 'curing' autism and focus on listening to #ActuallyAutistic people. 1/

Hey Public Library Association guess what? I get to come sign books! I’ll be there Friday at 11am HarperCollins for FRAMED WOMEN—a novel trying to change the way we see #autistic #women (I’m #ActuallyAutistic —and it’s #AutismAcceptance month!) read more—and come say hi!

2/2 … Jo isn’t the mystery; she helps to solve one. Likewise, I (and other autistic women) are not enigmas. We are people, fellow human beings, with intrinsic value.”

From the article!

In creating Jo, Schillace said she aimed to create a protagonist who “isn’t treated like a savant, and her autism — though present — does not become the most interesting thing about her. (1/2)
