  1. Book recs for helping children understand the autism spectrum

    One of the many things I love about the LGBTQ in Technology Slack is that it’s got a shedload of people one can ask for advice on just about any topic.

    Last week, one of the parents on the group asked about book recommendations to help her 5yo daughter become a better, more considerate classmate to a member of her kindergarten who is on the autism spectrum.

    Because the list of links that resulted seems like it might be useful to other people, I’ve copied the recommendations into a blogpost.

  2. “Love my son’s transgender dragon”

    Yesterday on the LGBTQ in Technology Slack, Franzi posted a screenshot they’d seen of a Facebook post with an adorable story. I make no promises as to whether it ever happened, I just found the story so cute that I had to share it more widely. The text was helpfully transcribed by Cable, another Slack user.
