Hello everyone and a very Happy New Year!
Mine didn't get off to the best start when I woke up just before midday though I must've needed the sleep!
A couple of posts ago I talked about what I wanted to achieve this year so I'm not going to mention my goals in this post.
One thing that is probably a few weeks away from being complete is my new book titled "Life Is Complicated: My journey with Asperger Syndrome". It's been hard writing it but will be very rewarding in the end. I think you'll like it and there's a lot more detail and humour added in. I think too if you're a neutral then you'll most likely prefer reading my 2nd book... that's if you like dry humour!
Here's 10 humorous quotes to keep you amused and these are handpicked from only 3 of the 15 chapters!
"My facial expressions didn't help either. I could have been singing a very up-tempo song but going by my face you'd think I was singing a ballad at a funeral"
"I love numbers but not the number 4"
"Being given ice cream with a spoon already in the bowl was a nightmare"
"Using my fingers as a gun with the thumb acting as a trigger shouting "bang, you're dead" didn't really get my adrenaline going much"
"A little bit of spit flew out of someone's straw when they were messing about and onto Ronald McDonald in the center of my birthday cake"
"It took me a while to grasp but I went the other way and started doing it all the time like a nodding dog. I was lucky I didn't get whiplash"
"If they're wearing a fluffy animal print coat then it might sway me"
"I made a point of shaking hands and then craftily as I saw down I might rub my hand on the chair or my trouser leg"
"People don't know if I'm being serious or not and that's part of the humour. It gives me that get out of jail card if I say something inappropriate"
"At least my forehead won't need ironing out in 20 years time unless I have a major mid-life crisis"
To help get word about about my new book, I'm giving all kindle users a chance to purchase my first book "A New ME" from the 3rd January to the 7th January for FREE. It's available in ALL countries too!

Donation update + I need help - details inside!
Hello everyone, thank you all for the incredible response to my latest offer on my book "A New ME".
I apologise that this post is late but here it is copied and pasted from my facebook page...
Hello, most of you will know I've been running an offer for kindle users for the past 5 days (Sunday - Thursday). It was free for those 5 days and for every copy downloaded I would personally donate 10p to "Invest in ME". The offer has now ended and 387 copies were sold taking the overall sales number to 517. This means that £38.70 was raised, this number was then rounded up to the next 0 (like I always do) taking the amount up to £40. Then £3 was added to this amount as that is the amount raised for the months September and October when just 10% went to charity. Still with me? We're at £43... this was then rounded up to £50 so that is the amount donated plus a £12.50 gift aid taking the amount raised to...
£62.50!!!
My last offer in August/September had raised £87.50 altogether so now my book has raised an overall amount of...
£150 for the charity...
Thanks everyone!
Secondly, I'm sure a lot of you know by now that I'm writing a new book called "Life is Complicated: My journey with Asperger Syndrome". It's coming along well but there's 1 chapter I'd like a bit of help with... you can be that help!
I'm doing a chapter in a Q+A format and I'd liked to be asked questions from a variety of people. There's a few questions I've had from "Autism Mums" and I'd like a few questions from you guys who don't necessarily know much about the condition. I will answer these questions in detail in my book... your questions can be as short or long as you like and don't worry about it being personal or offensive. I'm here to answer all sorts of questions.
Write your questions down in the comments box below, it would be much appreciated...
P.S. What do you think of this new cover? It needs some amendments like the title colour but I'm looking for opinions?
Thanks everyone xxx
