C. H. Rittenour
Literal Guides was created by a literal thinker and parent raising a very literal, neurodivergent child. After struggling to find clear explanations for topics most guides assume people already understand, I began writing structured, straightforward guides that replace vague advice with direct, practical explanations families can actually use.
