As autism awareness month gets underway, please join this event for useful information, practical tips and an opportunity to meet other parents. It’s a hybrid event so you have the option to attend I person or online.
It’s going to be a good (half) day- I hope to see you there

It’s easy to make an author happy. Just buy a copy of their book and post a review.
I received this today from a reader and it really made my day:

I just had to do this! I got my book yesterday evening. It has been a must read in my free time. The African perspective and experiences, the authors bring is real. As a sibling, I can echo some of the experiences. *A must read, indeed!* 😊

I’d love to see pictures of you holding my book, with a review of what you thought of it. I need Amazon reviews, and even Facebook comments that I can put on my website to increase my reach.
Come on! Let’s do this!

I just want to say a huge thank you for all the kind words, the love and the support I’ve received over the last couple of days. I’m going to make time to respond to everyone who has reached out - but please be patient; I have a lot of you to get through.
Thanks to everyone who has bought my book. Please read it and let me know what you think.
If you haven’t bought it yet - what are you waiting for? It’s currently available on Amazon, so there’s no excuse!
Most of all, please make time to write a review on Amazon. This will increase visibility and help it reach more people.
I have to go back to my day job now, but thank you from the bottom of my heart - you guys rock!

It’s T minus 1 day to go and I’m feeling excited and exhilarated, yet terrified and overwhelmed at the same time!
Wonderfully Complex is now available in paperback and ebook on Amazon. The hardcover and audiobook version are in the works as well.
Will I see you at the launch in person or online? Let me know if you’re coming, I’d really love to see you 😊

I asked Jonathan, David’s twin, to write a chapter in Wonderfully Complex because I think the sibling perspective is so important.
I learned a lot from reading his chapter, and it made me think. Jonathan will be at the launch party, so if you have any questions for him, please leave them in the comments.
14 days and counting….

It's just over a year since I published my children's book "Adventure at the Seaside" and now I've just got 18 days left for the launch of "Wonderfully Complex."
So much to do, so little time! Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to my book going into the world.
I hope to see you there!
Finally! they're here!☺️

I’m so excited. Just received a notification that my proof copies are on their way. I’ll be doing a Facebook live of the moment I open the package when it gets here . I can’t wait!
I’d like to introduce you to a phenomenal woman and a good friend of mine. Reverend Victoria Lawrence is a trailblazer, championing the cause of autism advocacy and the rights of vulnerable children. She did me the honour of writing my foreword.
Have a look as she shares a little bit about her experiences with her beautiful daughter Momo. Her story resonates with me, and I’m sure with many of you who will watch

So, after a lengthy hiatus, a period of second guessing myself and listening to my inner critic, I’m back! I finally finished working through my edits, and my book will finally be released soon.
These past 2 years have been challenging and exhausting for everyone, and I’m so relieved that I didn’t give up even though I felt like forgetting the whole thing.
Thank you everyone who has been asking me about the book, and pushing me to get it done. I truly appreciate your support.
Watch this space for updates and information about my launch!

So, most people are aware of autism, and have a vague understanding of what it is. Here’s a video that explains what it means to be autistic:

What is Autism? 16% of autistic people and their families think the public understand autism in a meaningful way. We want to change this and create a society that works for ...

World Autism Awareness week starts today. When I look back to when my son was first diagnosed, I can see that people are more aware of autism now compared to then. But it’s not just about awareness; it’s about acceptance and appreciation.
However this only comes through knowledge. As parents, we are experts on our children, but don’t always know how to articulate effectively when advocating for them. OnLine Training Ltd is offering a free online course - Autism for Parents. It’s a short course which explains some of the behaviour and issues surrounding autistic children.
I thoroughly recommend it, it will give you an insight into your child and help you help other people understand your autistic child better. Try it out and let me know what you think.

Hi everyone Tayo here again, I've got a big smile on my face because yesterday I finally announced the launch of my new children's book - Adventure at the Seaside. I'm really excited that the day has finally come. The launch party is going to be on Monday the first of March at 7pm GMT.
So, I'll be looking forward to seeing, as many of you, that can make it as possible. I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have responded with such grace and love and support,with all the comments all the congratulations. Thank you so much, I'm floating. I feel so happy and I'm really encouraged by all your support. So, thank you. Thank you very much for that.
I also wanted to give a quick update on the progress of my other book - Wonderfully Complex. I've heard from the editor, and I should have it back I believe by the end of next week. And the next steps for me then would be to write the book description and start working on the cover design. So yes great things. I want to say a big thank you to the PPP, that's my children's author group for all their support - we have an accountability group. And that's why I finally announced the launch, because of the support and the encouragement from them all.
I also want to thank Igniting Souls London; that is my other author group. I'm involved in so many groups! thanks for all the support and even though it's a different group of people, they're supporting me with the other book, but they're also providing a lot of support, encouragement for the children's book as well so I'm doubly blessed.
So, I'll sign off here and I'll be in touch soon with more updates about the launch party and about the progress of the other book. So thank you very much for watching, and I'll catch up with you soon. Bye.
