Diego M. Peña

Diego Peña is a young autistic author and self-advocate in the making. On his agenda are disability rights, inclusion, and educating others about autism. Diego's limited ability to speak does not stop him from spreading autism acceptance and awareness through his writings and presentations. Diego uses an iPad, letter board, and key board to communicate. Anatomy of Autism is his first published book, achieving #1 bestselling status in its category for over a month. The success of Anatomy of Autism led to its translation in Spanish: Anatomia del Autismo. Diego enjoys creative writing, horse back riding, playing on his iPad, and swimming.
