Remarkable Remy

A warm and optimistic story that introduces an Autistic character to a young audience

Remarkable Remy is a warm and optimistic story that introduces an Autistic character to a young audience. The story helps explain the Autistic brain – how it works a little differently and how unique it is – and how our neurodivergent friends make the world remarkable!   
 
My best friend’s name is Remy.
I think Remy is remarkable.
Remy is Autistic. That means Remy’s brain works differently to my brain.
I love that Remy is different to me, because Remy can teach me new ways to experience the world.
 
A picture book for both Autistic and non-Autistic readers aged 3 and up, Remarkable Remy illuminates the experiences and strengths of Autistic people, and the joys of having Autistic friends.

Dr Melanie Heyworth founded Reframing Autism, a company run by and for Autistic people and their families and allies. It is dedicated to creating a world in which the Autistic community is supported to achieve acceptance, inclusion and active citizenship.
