I've just written a personal account of my experience of growing up with Aspergers in the UK in a time before it could be diagnosed. It's a bit cheeky to plug it here, but it's too long for a blog (about 20K words, or about 70 pages) and Kindle seems the ideal way to publish it. Only 99c/99p. Hopefully readable and interesting.

Available for tablets and Kindles from

http://www.amazon.ca/At-Home-Abroad-Str ... B00SC7ZP1W
http://www.amazon.com.au/At-Home-Abroad ... B00SC7ZP1W
etc. depending where you live.

Also available as a paperback for $3.89 or £2.99 from

Like it says "A true story of a life-long struggle with undiagnosed Aspergers Syndrome, from an unpromising start and troubled adolescence to travel, a career and eventually even marriage. And that feeling of being 'at home abroad and abroad at home''.

Please have a look and review. I haven't sunk to getting friends to put it bogus reviews of 'brilliant' and five stars, which seems to be what some people do.

If I have anything special to offer, it is that I have experienced Aspergers both from the inside, as a child and a young man not understanding what was wrong, and now more from the outside, being able to 'pass for normal'.

Old dope peddler trick: the first one is free.

Better still, click on the link to amazon.com. Then click on 'Look Inside', just above the image of the front cover. This lets you read about the first three pages of text.

Pretty good read. I'll probably get the full version later on.
