About the Contributors
Written by - Eleni Tassopoulos Wehner
Eleni Tassopoulos Wehner discovered that typical caregiving strategies did not work for her neurodivergent family. With some creativity, patience and adjusted expectations, she developed methods that any child or caregiver can use. Eleni lives in St. Louis, MO with her husband, Greg, and their kids, Chrysanthi, James, and Andreas. She loves bunnies, thrift stores, and glitter gel pens.
Illustrated by - Danamarie Hosler
Danamarie Hosler is an autistic illustrator, fiber artist, and muralist based in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Her work is based around the idea that art should be accessible to all people, in all forms, and she considers her work to be equal parts art, education, and advocacy. In those rare moments when she’s not making art, you can find her perfecting her macarons and croissants, or bird watching.
