New Year brings a new way of giving back to those we serve and well beyond with the creation of Xtermigator Kids, through the Dr. Disruptor Series, imagined by our very own Chief Xtermigator Dr. Eric Fishon.
đ Disrupting the Narrative: The Birth of XTERMIGATOR KIDS & The Power of Dr. Disruptor
For many of us with unseen disabilities, the world often operates on a system that wasnât designed with us in mind. We navigate spaces that misunderstand us, advocate for ourselves in rooms that dismiss us, and push forward despite a society that too often sees our differences as limitations instead of strengths.
But what if we changed the story? What if we disrupted the old narratives and built something new?
Thatâs exactly why I created XTERMIGATOR KIDS and stepped into the role of Dr. Disruptorânot as a job, but as a mission.
đ Meet XTERMIGATOR KIDS: Where Every Child is Seen
đ A book series. A movement. A revolution for inclusion.
XTERMIGATOR KIDS is more than just a childrenâs book seriesâitâs a safe space where kids with unseen disabilities like ADHD, autism, anxiety, and chronic fatigue syndrome can see themselves as heroes.
Too often, children with disabilities grow up feeling like theyâre âtoo muchâ or ânot enough.â Schools and social spaces tell them to âfocus more,â âcalm down,â âtry harder,â or âjust be normal.â
But in XTERMIGATOR KIDS, different isnât a problemâitâs a superpower.
At the heart of the series is XTERMIGATOR, a wise and warm-hearted alligator detective, leading his swamp friends on exciting adventures that teach kids self-acceptance, problem-solving, and friendship. Each story explores a different unseen disability, helping kids understand themselves and others in an engaging, heartwarming way.
Some of our featured characters:
âď¸ Freddie the Frog & The Mighty Zoomies! (ADHD)
âď¸ Ava the Fox & The Puzzle of Feelings (Autism)
âď¸ Otis the Otter & The Worry Monsterâs Trick (Anxiety)
âď¸ Shelly the Turtle & The Mystery of the Missing Energy (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
Every book is a tool for empowermentâhelping kids, parents, and educators create conversations that normalize neurodiversity and celebrate differences.
At XTERMIGATOR KIDS, we embrace the beauty of diversity. Together, we are unstoppable.
đĽ Enter Dr. Disruptor: Breaking Barriers & Rewriting the Rules
Title? Forget it. This isnât just a career. Itâs a calling.
Embracing the role of Dr. Disruptor involves not only adhering to established norms, but also redefining them.
People with disabilities have too long faced expectations to remain silent, blend in, or “overcome” their differences in order to succeed. But why should we change who we are to gain acceptance? What if the world just learned to accommodate us better?
So I made the choice:
đĽ To disrupt the old systems.
đĽ To amplify voices that have been ignored.
đĽ To create stories and platforms where unseen disabilities arenât afterthoughtsâtheyâre center stage.
