One of my friends has been published!

She has some writing in this book: All the Weight of Our Dreams: On Living Racialized Autism. If this is the sort of thing that interests you, you should definitely pick up a copy.

Or, if you're more in the mood for picture books, she hasn't written this one but I still need, like, a dozen copies: Why Johnny Doesn't Flap: NT is OK!

I tell you, this time Amazon's recommendations are exactly right.

"Johnny Doesn't Flap" reminds me of a thing I wrote once, a bit of demi-fiction. See, on my fictional planet Traipah, the people there are largely autistic by human standards. There's a mental disorder on the planet (later classified a condition or a complex, I forget which) where its sufferers are essentially neurotypical by human standards. The demi-fiction I wrote read like a Wikipedia article or diagnostic manual for the condition. :)

It sounds great :)
