NCSA National Grassroots Network Book Club
Together We Learn, Together We Rise
We get it. Your life is a masterclass in superhuman endurance. This book club is your secret weapon for keeping your brain as flexible as your daily schedule.
By Those Who Know, For Those Who Care
Connect with other advocates across the nation who also understand that self-care sometimes means celebrating small victories.
Beyond Autism, Beyond Policy
A space to reclaim a piece of yourself, one chapter at a time — cheat codes for understanding complex systems, challenging narratives, and communicating with confidence.
Flexible, Supportive, Accessible
Your participation is perfect, whatever that looks like today. One earbud in. Camera off. Miss a week? No problem.
Book Club Format: Reading goals that understand your life — 30 pages or less, or under one hour of audiobook, per week. We provide a PDF workbook with the reading list. Sunday evenings at 7 PM ET are our connection point, but your reading journey is completely on your terms.

GIVEAWAY
Can’t wait?
Check out one of Freddie’s previously published books. We discussed How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement in Autism Confidential Episode 52, and it would be a great appetizer to All In Your Head, a book all about disability in the 21st century.
