Writing Ava Skye, Adventurer, has been a dream come true for me as an autistic adventurer myself! When I was young, I was always wanting to try new things: exploring the world like Indiana Jones, going on an African safari, sailing across the sea, but since I wasn’t ready to venture out on those explorations quiet yet, I focused on what I could do: smaller, but still exciting things like fishing, canoeing, dance lessons, and horseback riding. My favourite adventure of all was roller skating! Was I worried I’d fall? Yes. Was I really happy to go home to my safe space and family afterward? Definitely. But no matter what, the excitement and triumph I felt on my adventures always outweighed the worry and challenges. I felt proud for getting out of my comfort zone and braving the world. I have kept those memories close all these years later. That’s who I wrote Ava Skye’s story for. The amazingly brave adventurers like you.
