Aspie Dad

Sheesh, do they know what they’re asking? Granted I wrote a thesis and a fistful of peer-reviewed articles and a stack of environmental compliance reports that could be administered with great benefit to the insomniacs of the world.

Still, a book about what is like to be a ‘high-functioning’ autistic adult viewing my (and now his) life through the window of my son’s autism? Talk about a foot in each world, both looking out and looking in…

It keeps coming up (”you should write a book!”) when I speak to local groups and educators, I suppose I should address it one way or another. Not that what has appeared here is any indication of what few writing skills I have (had?). I used to be a passable writer, hopefully the pursuit of graduate degrees has not pounded it out of me.

I think even considering this would spike my anxiety through the roof were it not for all those SSRIs coursing through my system…
