I’ve got a short story in an anthology that came out yesterday! It’s called Extraterrestrials: Another Autistic Trans Anthology, and it includes a bunch of different short stories about and for teenagers, centering characters who are both autistic and transgender/nonbinary, written by authors who live at the intersection of autistic and trans identities.

My story, “Clothes That Fit,” is a prequel to an unpublished novel of mine. The main character of the novel has been out as nonbinary for a few months when the book starts, so I figured it would be fun to write a short story about their experience coming out to their friends. It’s a low-stakes feel-good story about supportive friendships and the joy and relief of shopping for clothes you actually want for the first time.
