I have finally finished a full draft of my book on autism and human rights in the U.S. Still have to do a bit of copy editing and then some formatting, but the book should be out sometime this summer.

Update
Greetings, All!
Sorry to have been away for so long. There was the sprained ankle, the dislocated shoulder, the broken toe, the distraught older daughter, the distressed younger daughter, etc., etc. But I’m still here and still writing.
Have finished Chapter 5 on Health Care. Just one chapter to go, and have already written part of it.
Looks like I’ll be going with self-publishing. I have had nibbles from university presses, but that’s not really the audience I want. As to commercial presses (and literary agents)–can’t even get them to officially turn me down. Dead silence. So–look to Amazon a few months from now.
I’ll let you all know about the virtual book launch as the time approaches.
Take care
Change of Plan
Dear Folks. As you know, I’ve been working for years now on a book on autism and human rights. I’ve recently been looking for publishers, and one of them, on their submission portal, asked how long the book was. So I went back and counted words.
Whoops! It’s way, WAY longer than anyone is going to publish or most normal (autistic or neurotypical) people would want to read. Being who I am, I need to provide data to back up the points I make. But the data is making the book far too long. So–change of plan.
I’m going to take most of the data and detailed arguments about the data out of the book and put it on my other blog: https://thatbloodycat.com
So if anyone wants to know why I make certain claims, the back-up information will be there.
If you’re interested, check out the blog.
