About the Author

May 22nd, 2025

Hello! My name is Eden. I am a non-binary and queer autist and a slut for all of life’s joys.

I have been autistic my whole life but only got a diagnosis in March of 2024. I have since become an activist and advocate for autistic and neurodivergent ways of being and thinking, which for me includes not only those of us with “official” diagnoses, but anyone who participates and supports the practice of neurodivergent logics which prioritize curiosity, knowing through our bodies and senses, and discovering–instead of presupposing–the value of things.

I come from my neurodivergent family who love and support me and gave me my wonderful autistic brain.

I also come from a long lineage of autistic and neurodivergent activists, writers, advocates, artists, and regular people who started the work of uncovering the harm in neurotypical logics long before I was born.

I am from Tacoma, Washington, and have a special relationship with a very wise and elegant autist: the Madrone tree (pictured below), who has modeled non-linear growth and interdependence for hundreds of thousands of years.
