Author. Storyteller. Advocate for the unheard and the beautifully human.
I’m Tiffany Hammond — an autistic mother, writer, and advocate. I tell stories that center the messy, beautiful, hard, and deeply human parts of being neurodivergent, Black, and raising autistic children in a world that often forgets to listen.
Through books, essays, and public speaking, I work to challenge how the world sees disability — and how we see ourselves within it. Whether I’m writing a picture book, unpacking the politics of masking, or simply sitting with the hard truths of parenting, everything I do is rooted in love, honesty, and liberation.

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this picture book is a celebration of autistic joy, communication, and the beauty of being seen.
