It has been one month since I published my book
I did not think I would be doing a "re
branding" job so early in the game but here it goes anyway. One
month ago today I accomplished something I was beginning to think I never
would; I published my first book. It is
an autobiography but not in the sense of being self-promoting and
self-congratulatory. Okay, maybe a
little self-congratulatory but if you don’t pat yourself on the back, who
will? This book is so much more than
that though. It’s about overcoming
obstacles, learning to be comfortable in your own skin and living up to your
full potential.
The fact that I recently discovered I might be
mildly autistic or high functioning autistic is a big factor but it is not the
total package. I want people who are
autistic to read it but I want people who have never really had any dealings
with autism to read it too. Yes, there
are individuals among us that are severely autistic and probably “easier to
spot.” But there are far more individuals
out there like myself who you would
never even give a second thought about having “something going on…” We look “normal;” whatever that entails…
I’m having my first in a series of book signings in
a few days. I hope you will come by and
talk to me and ask questions. The thing
about people with High Functioning Autism, we are painfully honest which means
if you ask me something you are going to get a direct answer. And no worries, if I feel it’s out of bounds,
I will let you know that too
