About the book…
"Bubbs in Space" showcases the common behaviors that come with autism as well as how to help, support and enjoy life alongside a world filled with neurodiversity. Centered around Orion, a little boy on the autism spectrum, this is a children's book meant to share the way someone like him sees and experiences everything in a different, unique way. In the book, Orion's siblings showcase the different ways you can be supportive and loving towards children on the spectrum. This book takes place in Bubbs' dreams as he travels to different planets to show how he experiences the different parts of his life. His siblings are there to support him and have fun along the way!
The main theme of this book is to teach children how to fully embrace our differences, how to spread love, and the importance of understanding one another. It can be difficult for young children to understand how someone on the autism spectrum perceives the world around them, but it is author Emily Jean Sanders' goal to spread creative literature that helps expand the popular understanding of neurodiversity. Join in a special journey meant to educate, entertain, and warm the hearts of those who feel misunderstood.

Meet Bubbs!
Hi! I’m Orion (aka Bubbs or OG). I was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) at two and a half years old. When I reached my first birthday, my mom noticed signs that I may be growing and learning differently. I started early intervention services, giving me access to a play and speech therapist.
I am still learning to use my voice, but I have a lot of help from my family. I also know hundreds of vocabulary words in ASL (American Sign Language)! I amaze my family, friends, therapists, and teachers every day!
I love all kinds of cars! I sort them, line them up and know immediately if one is out of place. My mom used rockets in my book to symbolize my special interest in cars.
My mom wrote this book to spread awareness about some of the things I do and experience differently as an autistic person. She wants everyone to know how amazing it is to have a variety of friendships in their lives.
Thank you for reading about me and it is nice to meet you! Always move forward in your life in love. In love with everything… always.
