Ben Levin is an autistic teenager who has been in love with stories ever since he was a little boy. “Stories constantly pop into my mind like magic and I feel a need to share them with other kids,” says Ben. The published author of the multiple-book series, “Nellie’s Friends” written for grammar school readers, Ben also authored “Ollie and The Race” for early readers.
His breakout novel, “In The Hole” (Jumpmaster Press, Fall 2021) gives hope and inspiration to young adults and their families who face homelessness and economic insecurities during this challenging time. Ben’s greatest wish is to bring joy through his writing to kids all over the world. Ben is proud to be autistic and is using his status as an author on the spectrum to serve as an example of how autism is not a setback, but a gift.
He wants others on the autism spectrum to know that they are as capable of following their dreams as anyone else. “The label doesn’t matter,” says Ben. “We are capable of making our dreams come true too!” Born in Lexington, Massachusetts, Ben currently resides in New Jersey with his parents, brother Jake, and two dogs. When he isn’t writing, Ben enjoys reading, playing sports, hanging out with friends, and listening to the Beatles.
