Recorded at the Montague Arms in New Cross, London, October 7th 2014 as part of a great evening of pals performing.

Thank you to Daniel Lehan for manning the camera, and Frog Morris for hosting the evening. That's him in the hat you know?

I do not undetrstand what the book will be about. If it's about faking NT, I'm done with that. If it is about coming out full-throttle with being Autistic, I need this book.

I was just thinking the same thing.

Lets just say that the book will be so 'pure hard core Aspie' that none of the major publishing houses would be able to handle it?

Instead of being full on overtly NT alienated Aspie, you produce a book that trains us to bully, seduce, manipulate and know how to have sex with the rest of the world. Every sordid, bizarre, irrational, hormonal, emotional, neurotypical trait that the Jessica Kingsley books would never ever think of going near. Not how mummy wants 'little lambkins who is disabled' to be?

Does that sound like an ordinary autism book? Most of it is described as being 'for Aspie eyes only'.

There is a section that explains how when NT's and Aspies get drunk together, we exchange places and become each other?

It may be amusing too? It really won't be that pleasant for NT's.

The guy doing it is taking forever!! !

It was meant to be weeks ago now. I will let everyone know when, to the point that you will all be sick of me.

It will be on Kindle/Ibooks/Online too.

Thank you very much for asking.

Paul.

I look forward to reading it. It seems like a lot of techniques taught to aspies to acquire social skills put us at a disadvantage in social situations, especially when the neurotypical isn't playing fair. I don't think constantly apologising for who you are will allow you get ahead in this world. Hope the book lives up to the hype!

The book is now available on Amazon for Kindle. A tenth of it is free to download and read.

Hopefully the most satirically evil book by us about them, and about how to pretend to be them, and how bloody awful they are to do impressions of?

I love writing sentences like that?

Don't worry, there are indeed fighting techniques within. But not of the body?

:mrgreen: :skull: :heart:

This.... this looks beautiful.

By the way, did anyone think of the song by Da Lench Mob when reading this?

You can now buy the book directly from me if you are in the UK?

International sales are to be found on Amazon, Kindle and The Book Depository company. (http://www.bookdepository.com/Guerilla- ... 1909769076)

The show of the book, that turns people autistic step by step, will be on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. I can tour it anywhere anyone fancies?

I am also working on a guide to make the festival bearable for aspies. That will appear in the next two weeks when I am there. Also an aspie meet up will be attempted? A daily time and place when people can meet up.

Thank you,

Paul.
