Through My Autistic Eyes
I was once going to write a book called “In My Eyes”, this was going to explore the difficulties I have living with Aspergers or autism for that matter.

It’s A Dream Come True
Wow, I’m amazed at the response I’ve received since launching my first ever book. If you’re not aware, I’ve written and published my first ever book about my life living with Aspergers.

Talking: What’s The Point?
One thing I discuss in my book is the struggle I have with talking and socialising everyday. I’m generally okay with people I’ve met before as I’ve built up confidence along the way but with new people I struggle. To put it simple, it means that when someone new or someone I know already talks…
