Shannon Rosa’s Biography

I've been writing about autism, parenting, and being a big nerd since 2003. I also write about these topics as the senior and social media editor at Thinking Person's Guide to Autism.

My writing, speaking, and interviews can also be found at The Washington Post, KPCC AirTalk, Organization for Autism Research, The Doctors TV show, The Establishment, Spectrum, io9, BuzzFeed Communities, Woman's Day, Huffington Post, The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, CBC Radio, Family Circle, KQED, Special Education Guide, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Shot of Prevention, Al Jazeera, and the UN Foundation’s Shot@Life -- among other places.

I co-edited and contributed to the Thinking Person's Guide to Autism book (and am currently working on the second edition), co-authored a chapter in Autistic Community and the Neurodiversity Movement: Stories from the Frontline, wrote a story in My Baby Rides the Short Bus book, and co-edited and contributed to the Can I Sit With You? and Can I Sit With You Too? Books.
