Observed each April, Autism Acceptance Month encourages communities to move beyond awareness toward deeper understanding and inclusion. With approximately one in 31 children in the United States diagnosed with autism, according to the CDC, the story aims to help families celebrate individuality, progress, and the many different ways children learn and grow.

Written by Courtney Bierman, BCBA, President and Founder of Bierman Autism Centers, the book builds on Bierman’s beloved Pilot the Penguin character, first introduced through the Adventures of Pilot the Penguin coloring book and the Pilot the Penguin stuffed companion. Together, these efforts reflect Bierman’s commitment to creating meaningful, family-centered experiences that extend learning beyond the therapy center and into everyday life.

Pilot the Penguin: Alex’s Learning Adventure is a gentle, story-driven book designed to highlight individuality, resilience, and progress. The story offers families a warm, accessible way to talk about learning differences, growth, and belonging.

“Pilot was created to reflect what we see every day in the children and families we serve,” Bierman said. “Though Pilot can’t fly alone, anything is possible with the right support, creativity, and encouragement. This book is a celebration of that belief.”

All current Bierman families will receive a copy of the book, and it will be included as part of the Day 1 welcome experience for new clients, along with a Pilot the Penguin stuffed companion.

Families, educators, and community members can visit adventureswithpilot.com to learn more about the book and be among the first to know when it becomes available for purchase on Amazon.

Copies of the book will also be donated to local libraries near Bierman centers, extending the message of acceptance and inclusion into the broader community.
