Long time reader and first time commenter.<br /><br />You wrote"<br /><br />"It basically went nowhere and I probably sold not much more than 200 copies." <br /><br />This is a travesty. In a just world your novel would be, if not a best-seller, at least a best-seller in the the sci-fi ghetto.<br /><br />Your work has been compared mostly to Daniel Keyes <i>Flowers for Algernon</i>, with your work regarded as superior. I am of this opinion too. You have the ability to make science fiction technologies seem plausible in the context of current knowledge. You are to neurology what Kim Stanley Robinson is to space travel.<br /><br />I have tried to promote your work on a few sci-fi blogs, but that went nowhere, as I am basically a nobody whose personal story is similar to your own.

I spent ages 4 to 11 in special education and over 5 years of my adult life in a secure psychiatric facility. <br /><br />I too have concerns about the ND movement usurping the public autism narrative. It strikes me that the most vocal advocates are very far removed from my lived experiences of autism, both my own and others I have had contact with.<br /><br />I'm not a professional editor, but I do have some experience in the world of self-publishing. I would be happy to proofread anything non-fiction that you want to get ready for publication.<br /><br />We follow each other on Twitter, and I can be reached at:<br />tom@asgexe.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-70044194554796469572019-01-12T22:16:07.401-08:002019-01-12T22:16:07.401-08:00Being on the spectrum, I have trouble writing, I k...Being on the spectrum, I have trouble writing, I know it in my head but not in words.<br />I try to explain it, using too much paraphrasing and long metaphors before reaching the point, that's if the other person doesn't lose patience reading it. I fear ambiguity too, that makes it worse.<br /><br />I hope your editor has experience with people with ASD. I'd want one who has. But the contents of your blog posts are well organized already.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-54758411951172200232019-01-10T23:32:46.649-08:002019-01-10T23:32:46.649-08:00You know, some ppl's work didn't become fa...You know, some ppl's work didn't become famous until long after they were dead. <br /><br />https://www.scoopwhoop.com/People-Talent-Only-Recognized-After-Death/#.y0fe0sx2x<br /><br />Keep writing for fun and write your stuff so maybe future generations can appreciate your stuff.<br /><br />cubeangelnoreply@blogger.com
