Stephanie Hanrahan

About the Author

After making her private journal public, Stephanie Hanrahan achieved viral success with her online community, Tinkles Her Pants, where she shares candid reflections on disability, motherhood, and the unexpected ways a different life can be beautiful. Her work has been featured on NBC, CNN, Yahoo! News, The Daily Mail, Today Show, and her TEDx Talk, The Problem with Being Perfect.

Stephanie is also the founder of The Pip, an educational platform serving families of all abilities. Her number-one bestselling curriculum, True Hues Color Wheel: An Activity to Better Understand Autism, is used internationally by parents, healthcare providers, and universities to increase empathy and inclusion for neurodivergent individuals.

Stephanie resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband, two children, and rescue pup, Nana. When she’s not watching reality TV and eating Taco Bell in bed, she can be found fighting for radical acceptance for anyone who has ever felt othered.
