About the Author
Jacki Edry published her first book, "Moving Forward: Reflections on Autism, Neurodiversity, Brain Surgery, and Faith," and launched her blog in 2021. She has been exploring the world of autism and neurodiversity for over thirty-five years. She enjoys sharing her knowledge about neurodiversity, sensory processing, and education through speaking and teaching engagements for diverse, global audiences. Jacki is also neurodistinct and the parent of neurodivergent children. She survived complex brain surgery, which greatly affected her sensory and perceptual abilities. Sharing the insights she gained from her lived experience has been the driving force behind her work. Jacki has spent many years advocating for inclusion and educational reform. In 2023, ND By Design, powered by Dynamis, chose her as one of the top 50 neurodiversity evangelists. Jacki was born and raised in NY. Upon completing her studies at Hampshire College, she made Aliyah to Israel, where she resides with her husband, children, and dogs.

Jacki shares her intersecting experience of disability and neurodivergence, parenthood and healing, and those who read it are all the better for it." Katie Munday, Aucademy

"If you are interested in sensemaking this is an illuminating book. It gives you practical tools to understand the biological, mental, and spiritual processes involved.

Gabor Por, Jewish Book World
