helping adults help kids through my writing

I also use writing to help adults learn how to use and embrace a positive, thoughtful communication style. I was honored to co-author a book with Michelle Garcia Winner, and have published several articles in magazines including Autism Spectrum Quarterly and Autism Asperger's Digest.

My Book

Social Thinking and Me by Michelle Garcia Winner and Linda K. Murphy

Social Thinking and Me is a powerhouse of social knowledge to help children in upper elementary and middle school transition into the more socially-complex and socially-demanding older grades and become stronger social problem solvers. It gives teachers, administrators, students, and parents a common language to more easily discuss social strengths and weaknesses.
