about the book

my side of the spectrum

“My Side of the Spectrum” is a tender, uplifting story told from the point of view of a four-year-old girl named Lundy Lou, who is learning to navigate the world with autism. Written with honesty and heart, this beautifully illustrated book offers a rare glimpse into a child’s inner world—one filled with big emotions, bright moments, and the loving support of family.

Through playful storytelling, we follow Lundy Lou as she begins school, builds relationships, and experiences the ups and downs of daily life. We see her grow with the help of her sister, her dog Pebbles, her teachers, and her ever-patient Gigi. Though she learns differently and feels things deeply, Lundy Lou reminds us all that challenges do not define a child; love, support, and understanding do.

This book is not just a story; it’s a bridge. A bridge between children who experience the world differently and those who want to understand. It helps parents, educators, and caregivers open meaningful conversations about autism, acceptance, and empathy.

Whether you’re a parent of a child on the spectrum, an educator looking for inclusive stories, or simply someone who believes in the power of kindness and connection, My Side of the Spectrum is a heartfelt addition to your collection.
