S2-Ep 20: Our Amazing Minds: Teaching Kids About Autism with Jeffrey & Laura May
In this inspiring episode, host Jennifer Dantzler sits down with authors Jeffrey and Laura May, creators of the children’s book Our Amazing Minds—a beautifully written, inclusive story that helps kids understand autism through the eyes of four autistic friends.
The Mays share how their son experiences inspired them to create a resource they couldn’t find anywhere else: a book that explains autism to children in a positive, honest, and developmentally appropriate way. Together, we explore why representation matters, how early conversations reduce stigma, and how this book is helping both neurodiverse and neurotypical kids feel seen, understood, and included.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, therapist, or community member, this episode offers practical insight, heartfelt honesty, and a hopeful reminder that inclusion begins with understanding.
Learn more about the book at OurAmazingMinds.org or find it on Amazon.
