Growing Out Of It

Written between the ages of 12 and 18, Growing Out Of It is a collection of poetry charting its queer, autistic author’s journey through adolescence — in his own evolving poetic voice.

A vital and poetic testimony of lived experience pushing back at the notion that the young are somehow unequipped to know who they are and what might be best for them. If allyship is the work of listening, and it certainly should be, here is a voice ringing with bell like clarity with the things we all need to hear.
