From Little Stack

Disability representation at its absolute finest.

Dragon Mage follows Aram, a young man whose disability (ASD) is not only an obstacle to overcome, but the source of his power.

He shares the same challenges that so many on the Autism spectrum do (myself included), struggling to connect, to understand the complicated people around him, to feel like he belongs. His journey to discover magic, his bond with his dragon, and his place in the world among true friends is emotional and beautiful.

Publisher Description

Aram Raythe has the power to challenge the gods. He just doesn't know it yet.

Aram thinks he’s nothing but a misfit from a small fishing village in a dark corner of the world. As far as Aram knows, he has nothing, with hardly a possession to his name other than a desire to make friends and be accepted by those around him, which is something he’s never known. But Aram is more.

Much, much more.

Unknown to him, Aram bears within him a gift so old and rare that many people would kill him for it, and there are others who would twist him to use for their own sinister purposes. These magics are so potent that Aram earns a place at an academy for warrior mages training to earn for themselves the greatest place of honor among the armies of men: dragon riders.

Aram will have to fight for respect by becoming not just a dragon rider, but a Champion, the caliber of mage that hasn’t existed in the world for hundreds of years. And the land needs a Champion. Because when a dark god out of ancient myth arises to threaten the world of magic, it is Aram the world will turn to in its hour of need.
