Given the fact that I am so disabled because of my AS and Schizophrenia, that I can't have an ordinary job, neither can I get an education (tried, failed, tried again, failed again, tried last time, failed at last). That means I can't get any certification.

Though I have had plenty of time doing home-studying and people often tell me I am an open encyclopedia. I want to write a book about history, economics and politics for lay-people, but I don't even have a title beside "Early Retiree without any education and who didn't finish high-school" and if that is the title I will have to write on front of my book, nobody will even dare to read it even if I stuff it up with plenty of footnotes and sources and quotations from the sources.

What do I do?

Don't put any title. Just use your name, and let people assume you know your stuff. Get a few reviewers to look at it, and get the word out.

Degrees are useless anyway. I've known pompous idiots who knew nothing who held degrees. The only thing that piece of paper actually proves is that you know how to jump through the hoops the system sets up, and / or are good at kissing butts.
