From an Autistic Author to the World

Why Degan Doodles Exists

From an autistic author to the world: books that embrace, respect and inspire.

I am Sarah, an autistic woman who found in books a way to transform my own challenges into paths towards inclusion.

Throughout my life, I have faced many difficulties — from putting my thoughts into words to being understood in a world that does not always respect the time and manner in which people like me learn.

Even today, these challenges remain, but they have taught me that autism is not simply a limitation: it is a different, unique and meaningful way of experiencing the world.

From this journey, Degan Doodles was born — a project created with love and empathy, dedicated to developing educational and accessible books for autistic and neurodivergent children, including children with ADHD.

My mission is to provide resources that not only teach, but also build confidence, encourage creativity, strengthen self-esteem and show every child that they are capable.

I believe we all learn in our own time and in our own way. That is why every book I create is designed to be a genuine support tool, both for children and for the families, teachers and therapists who walk alongside them.

More than simply publishing books, I want Degan Doodles to be a space of care, inclusion and hope — where every child feels represented and respected, where every family finds resources to support their children with love, and where together we can build a world in which diversity is not only accepted, but truly celebrated.
