It has been a year since I first discovered that I am an Aspie Girl, though I always knew I didn't quite fit into the normal world. Since then I have written a book about my life and personal revelations called'Misfits & Ms. Behaviour'.
I wanted to write my story to share with other aspie girls, being an adult diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in my thirties. There is still very little research and information available for women with aspergers and autism. We are a rare breed indeed, and many of us don't get the support we need, especially through those difficult teenage years.
I have found that reading books or blogs from aspie girls and the frank conversations the women's forums at Wrong Planet have helped me the most to understand what it means to be a woman with Aspergers. I hope my book will give an insight into my rich sensory and creative world, and dispel a few myths about living with autism.
Misfits & Ms. Behaviour will be published as a book and a free pdf download in 2008. In the meantime you can read weekly tweets on asperger's and autism from Miss Aspielicious : twitter.com/aspiegirl
I shall look forward to your book being available and thank you, in advance, for making it available as a free download. I hope you will also include a donations option as I would like to read the book, but would want to give something back, if I have the privilege of a free download.
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for writing this book and for placing your own life experiences before those, "normal," folks, who probably have no idea what it means to be somewhere on the autistic spectrum. Well done! You go girl!
