Hello
I am 34 years old and on the spectrum. Having worked with people with autism for almost a decade I have come to realise that there is a gap in the market for a book containing a true depiction of the amazing diversity of people on the spectrum through from childhood to old age. I am therefore currently putting together a book and this is where I need your help! I am looking for descriptions of daily life however mundane and personal thoughts. I want to show how diverse a population we are, struggles and achievements, jobs, relationships, marriage, having children, sexuality, dreams, things that make you angry, jealous, intensely happy, views on your passions in life etc....I need as many first hand accounts as possible. Each person's contribution will be roughly half an A4 page and will be completely anonymous. If you would like to be involved or know someone who you think might like to be involved please get in touch. Thank you!
I’d like to write something if you are still accepting submissions
Hi Patch. Thank you for your message and interest in the book. Yes, still requiring a few contributions, especially from older adults. My email address is [removed by moderator] if you would like to mail me. I can then send you some information together with a template to help you decide if you'd like to still take part. Thanks again.
Hello. Ah yes, it's particularly those in the older generations that I'm still requiring. Many thanks.
I’ll send you an email if you still require some more.
