alot of the things that i have talked about here rescently were about my book, "through my eyes: a life with autism". i just wanted to say a few things about it, since in other topics about it, i was getting a lot of questions about it.

the first thing i want to say, is that i finally convinced my parents to get the ISBN for me, however, this means that i will have to do a few modifications. most of these will be minor, they are just so my book fits standards, and it can have an isbn, the title of it, will be changed in a minor form, instead of "a life with autism" it will be "a life with asperger's", my parents think it's a little too broad, and a bit deceiving.

the second thing is that i am saying that i am starting my second book, which i am titling "marching out of time how i learned to cope with asperger's" basically the same thing as the one i said i would start, which would be the same thing as the one i said i would start, called "coloring outside the lines" just a different title, because there already is a book out there called that.

just thought i would say something!

Gee, and JUST after I bought your last book. 8-( The shipping is EXPENSIVE. I actually paid more for the shipping than I did for your book.

As for the autism/aspergers, someone COULD have had HFA and still wrote the book with the same experiences. I't a shame you couldn't keep the title, as it might have had a larger audience. Oh well, AS has a better sound today.

CONGRATULATIONS on yet ANOTHER nice Christmas present!

Steve

Cool that you've got your own book! I'll buy it in NZ if I see it on the shelves. Don't forget to thank WP!

I hope my own story gets published when I'm done with it.

NZ? what's that? and it will take a couple of weeks for it to get processed. as for your book, you can get it published (self published, but the site manages it mostly) at lulu.com.

I think he means New Zealand!

WHY, did you sign it? BTW I was dissappointed on the late arrival. I know YOU have nothing to do with it. If it was on Amazon, I would buy it THERE first.

Anyway, I'm expecting to get it by next thursday! YEAH! I wan't to see what else you have to say. 8-)

It'd suck if it was called New Transit or New Tasmania or something!

Do they accept 7-part stories that have a word count that tops 1,250,000+? If so, COOL!! !

this is what i mean: if only a few of the copies like you have were sold, and the new version were to become popular, your version would become valuable...

I thought up of a version to include AS and Autism: Through my Eyes: A life on the Spectrum. But then, most don't know what The Spectrum is. Is it a Spectrum of Colours? Planets? Sausages?

Not even the first apple is worth that much. I have a friend with an Apple II with schematics SIGNED by Stephen Wozniak! Even THAT isn't worth millions. I WISH it worked that way. 8-(
