For the past six weeks, I’ve been writing a book about life after high school for neurodivergent young people. I finished the Introduction and three chapters, about 22,000 words. I should be done with Chapter 4 by the end of the day. Six more chapters to go. I hoped to be done with the entire project by the end of June, but the end of the summer is more realistic
I posted several excerpts of the book here, using the newsletter to get feedback and polish my prose. I’ll spare you today. Instead, I’ll fill you on the autism stuff in our home and professional life. I’ll be brief. I already wrote one newsletter today and have a strict writing goal for the day. At 4:00, we’re meeting my brother for Happy Hour tacos and beers. Important business ahead.
After starting an autism consulting company this spring, it quickly became obvious that I needed an e-book to sell to clients and to help structure my free webinars and private consulting sessions. The writing is going relatively quickly, because I’ve done so much work in the past three years, but I still have a few gaps. To supplement my existing knowledge, I’m interviewing smart people and going to conferences.
