Advice please: where to post this?

Sorry to post on your board but I would value some advice!

My friend has an autistic son.  He has written a novel where the main characters are a man and his autistic son although it is not a book on autism per se.  He has put it on Amazon Kindle for 99p and is giving all Kindle proceeds to the National Autistic Society.

The only problem is he is not great at promoting it as he is so humble and unassuming. Fwiw he feels he is on the Asperger's spectrum himself.  He uploaded it last May and has only recently agreed to let me promote it.  I am trying to think how to promote it further.  I contacted the NAS and they recommended Facebook and Twitter but neither of us uses these.  They also suggested the forums (fora?!) here.  But the rules here say no selling.  Does that include selling for charity?

Could someone let me know if there is anywhere I could promote his book?  Btw it is pretty cheap and a really good and unusual read.

Many thanks in advance!

    While your Intentions are admirable, the NAS is awash with cash and only supports revenue stream individuals. Your efforts would be best supporting your local autism association who would be both grateful and you could see benefits of book in your local community.
