“The Adventures of Maddie and Albert™” takes place in Canton, Ohio, where my mom grew up.

She shared many childhood stories with me, which inspired much of Maddie and Albert’s adventures. Maddie is based on my mom as a kid—adventurous, social, and always on the move.

Albert is based on me—shy, funny, and quiet. I’ve released five books in the series, along with an activity book and stickers. It’s an incredibly exciting children’s book series, with more adventures on the horizon!

our story

Written and Beautifully Illustrated by Autistic Author Alexandra Adlawan

It was an honor for me to participate as a Sponsor of the 2022 Autism Parenting Magazine Virtual Conference and contribute to Autism Digest on a regular basis.

I would never have believed that this would have been possible many years ago while struggling to find myself.

With the help of many people, my parents, sister, mentor, and many heroes that I have encountered on this ongoing journey, I wanted to take this opportunity to share my story through my stories.

Our Journey

My stories are not only about Maddie and Albert with their dog Houdini, it is about us, we who are on the Spectrum sharing our marketable talents with the world.

Everyone in our Autism community has a talent, all who support the Autism community are responsible in helping each one of us find our talent to share with the world.

Embrace your imagination, trust your journey, and create boldly—your unique story matters.

Hi, I’m Alexandra Adlawan, an autistic author, illustrator, and animator with a passion for storytelling and creativity. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at 15, I credit my unique perspective and journey to this defining part of who I am. Ever since I was young, I’ve loved creating stories and drawing characters. These early creations, saved lovingly by my parents, became my escape and inspiration during challenging times. I love sharing with readers.

In addition to writing my own books, I’ve had the privilege of illustrating for other authors, learning to bring their visions to life while honing my craft. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to dream big and pursue their creative passions.
