Embracing the Spectrum: Shifting the Perspective on Autism by Cusack, Cara

Cara Cusack is a multifaceted author, IT Business Leader, mother, grandmother, and small-scale farmer. Born and raised in Texas, she now calls the beautiful landscapes of Washington State home. With an impressive 25-year career in information technology, Cara's wealth of knowledge is as broad as the landscapes she has traversed, from the green fields of Ireland to the coastal beauty of Malta and the rich jungles of Costa Rica.

While her career initially revolved around the dynamic field of IT, Cara's talents and passions have always stretched beyond the professional realm. She has always found joy in putting pen to paper, but it was a deep-seated belief in freedom of speech that transformed this hobby into a calling. In response to disturbing trends of book bans in schools and public libraries, Cara became determined to share her own voice and began to publish her writings.

Cara's repertoire of work is diverse, ranging from engaging children's stories to compelling fiction and non-fiction for adults. Her belief in diversity, inclusivity, and freedom of expression is often reflected in her work, though she also delights in creating purely fun, imaginative tales. The minds of her children and grandchildren serve as a constant source of inspiration, leading to a medley of stories that are as brilliant and creative as the young minds that helped spark them.

Whether she's penning an insightful piece of non-fiction or spinning a whimsical tale for children, Cara is driven by a love of literature and a commitment to ensuring the freedom and diversity of voices in the literary world. Her array of life experiences, coupled with her professional expertise, imbue her writing with a unique authenticity, making her a celebrated author and a beacon of freedom in literature.
