Thoughts on my new project?

I style myself a bit of a writer, and at 36, I've had time to contemplate and formulate coping strategies for life amid the aspy brain.

Infact over the years, I've been in a position to help a few parents to autistic children understand their kids a bit better, giving them an inside track on what it feels like and some of the reasonoings behind behaviors.

So I have been thinking, to distract myself from worries about benefits and all the rest, I might start distilling that haphazard council and what ever wealth my experiance consitutes into a book, for use by both autists ad their carers.

Now there are a few issues, I dont nesicaraly see this ending out vastly long, book lenght may not be achevable, and I dont know what else to do with it.

Secondly I am no bastion of funtionality on the good days, I just found ways to avoid cutting myself to ribbons on the jagged edges of the world. I have no formal psycological training, and no reall grasp of current 'helping the autistic' best practace' so much of my thught may be prior art.

Lastly, I worry that my advice may just not be that helpfull.

any way, as a progect, as a concept I thought I would ask here, perhaps theres ways about the pitfalls, perhaps an opertunity to guadge intrest?

  • I say go for it! In my opinion as a parent who has autism and an  autistic child, i would be interested in reading the content of your book, any real life experiences to me are often more helpful than the very 'clinical' sounding info and descriptions! Best of luck with it. Sarah
