📣 Call for Submissions: “Loving Them Freely”
“There’s magic in being seen by people who understand — it gives you permission to keep going.” - alok vaid-menon
Loving Them Freely is an essay collection that aims to allow caregivers of autistic kids who have higher support needs to see, through example, that there are many, many families who are learning, loving, and supporting kids exactly as they are. To let them know that even if they choose a path less trodden, it is not a path they are trodding alone.
This upcoming online publication, hosted by RaisingFreeAutisticPeople.com, aims to support a movement that ensures that all autistic kids benefit from affirming families and communities. Even those with high support needs.
We're looking for submissions from caregivers - including therapists, paras, support workers, teachers - to connect and inspire others. No need to have answers, just authenticity.
Deadline: June 30, 2025
Ideal length: ~1000 words (max 2000)
