Book is done
After 4 years of development my book is now complete. We still have to find an agent and publisher but at long last I have a completed manuscript ready to present. I cannot wait to share my story with the world.

Neuro Tribes: My Review
Last Saturday I purchased the book Neuro Tribes: The legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman. It has been difficult to put down since. The book is an authoritative look at the history of autism which explores how understanding of it has evolved over time.
In my own upcoming book I detail how difficult my upbringing and education was, in Neuro Tribes it details how many people with autism prior to recent decades were institutionalized and treated as less than human which really makes me grateful I was born when I was. Sure, I have had my problems but for the most part have endured better than the abuse many autistic people faced before my time.
It also showcases the brave people who refused to give up on their autistic children and successfully brought awareness to the level it is today. Though we do have a long way to go to full acceptance.I cannot recommend this book enough. It is the definitive book on the history of autism.
