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?

  • Thank you all.

    I madea  start, got a pretty easy 2 and a half pages.

    And then it happened =/

    My already depressed and anxious state from being moved off DLA to ESA teamed up with my self doubt.

    Now I'm worrying that I dont have the right to wright this, that the wisdom I have dispensed amounts to a few bent coppers that I have exagerated o myself into a miraculolous dragon's hoard.

    I'm scared sick and miserable more than half the time, who am I to tell any one how to cope?
