In Fall 2024, I received a couple of grants to attend Library Research Seminar 8 in Lexington, Ky. Dr. Amanda Harrison invited me to co-present with her at LRS8. Our presentation focused on portrayals of autistic people in “readers’ choice” state book award nominees from 2014 to 2024. Here is a brief recap of my experience.
