With over two million followers on TikTok, Paige Layle is one of the world’s most influential advocates for a better understanding of autism.
Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of 15, Paige began making videos addressing common misconceptions about autistic people.
Now in her 20s, she has written a deeply moving new book, But Everyone Feels This Way, in which she shares her story as an autistic woman diagnosed late. Armed with the phrase “Autism Spectrum Disorder” (ASD), she challenges stigmas, taboos and stereotypes while learning how to live her authentic, autistic life.
Hear this influential advocate, and proud Canadian, share this important new book with Toronto audiences for the first time—a timely and inspiring story with the power to change hearts and minds.
Presented in partnership with Hachette Book Group Canada.
