My high school classmate, Anton Dabbs, was diagnosed as autistic this year at the age of 53.  We first chatted about his diagnosis in episode #56. 

We came together again to dive a little further into what life has been like since his diagnosis.  It’s always so amazing to talk to Anton.  He’s open, honest, and willing to share his insights. Don’t miss this follow up episode!

Anton is sharing his experience of self-discovery on his new YouTube Channel. Be sure to head over and subscribe to continue to follow his journey.  He is so open and honest about everything…you are going to love Anton!  

He also has a new memoir that was recently released, where you can read about his life. He has overcome so many obstacles and challenges.  The book isn’t about autism, but ends with his recent diagnosis. However, those of you who support autistic kids may see some things throughout the book that can be attributed to being autistic. You can order the book on his website.

Free Social Story Library: Support Predictability and Communication

Social stories can be a powerful tool for helping children understand what to expect, build confidence, and navigate everyday moments with more clarity and calm. Yet finding clear, ready-to-use social stories that are respectful, developmentally appropriate, and focused on connection—not compliance—can be time-consuming.

That’s why we created the Free Social Story Library.

This library offers a collection of social stories you can download and use right away—stories that support children in:

  • understanding routines and transitions
  • navigating common social situations
  • learning what comes next with visual and written supports
  • increasing participation and reducing uncertainty

Each social story is designed to put the learner first, using language and visuals that make expectations clearer while honoring neurodiversity and authentic experience.
