My Current Project

As you have probably noticed on the heading of this blog, I am currently writing a book about Asperger Syndrome through the eyes of a man who has the condition.  Some people have asked me about the condition.  I don't like to think of Asperger Syndrome as a disease because it is literally a difference in how my brain is wired.  As such, it is no more a disease than is being left-handed...or being gay.  In my book, I will share some of the science surrounding Asperger Syndrome and share some of my personal experiences related to the condition.  In future postings on this blog, I will share with you what I have learned in order to give you a better understanding of the many challenges we Aspergians (as those with AS like to be called) face on a daily basis.  I have noticed a great deal of misinformation in the mass media about Asperger Syndrome and would like to clear the air with my book and this blog. 

I have written a diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome into the character of David Lawrence, my narrator in both of my novels, "Topless Delivery - The Myrtle Beach Experience" and "Forever Autumn - The Myrtle Beach Experience Continues," in an endeavor to raise public awareness of Asperger Syndrome and other Autism Spectrum Disorders.
