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!
Thanks for the offer, NAS24514. Good idea. But half a side of A4 would barely get me started, unless the font size was microscopic! I'm just on the second draft of my own book about my life. First draft was 140k words. Finding even more to say second time through!
Good luck with your project.

Hi Tom, ah well it can be a few thousand words. But yes, maybe not 140 000 plus! Thanks for getting in touch though and good luck with your book. Best wishes.
