And on those really bad\, rotten days\, you can always count on family to be there for you. \n\n\n\nSally will also spend some time introducing us to the concept of neurodiversity and talking about her mission to help populate children’s literature with characters whose brains operate differently and characters who may have various mental health challenges. .  \n\n\n\nAbout The PresenterIn addition to being an advocate for neurodiversity and autism acceptance\, Sally J. Pla is the award-winning author of the novels\, The Someday Birds and Stanley Will Probably Be Fine\, and the picture book Benji\, The Bad Day\, And Me.
