Hello!

I apologize if you are getting this message twice.

I so deeply appreciate all of the support you have given me throughout the creation of this book!  I am just finishing up my last graduate school semester in order to receive my Masters Degree in Social
Work so I have been very busy since this process began. Thankfully I only have a short amount of time left, and am now able to begin focusing on the development of this book!

Before the big news, I also wanted to let you know that I have not solidified a
publisher that will assist in the creation of this book as of yet, but I have many interested parties and opportunities for contact so I am hopeful that the publishing process will begin soon!

Now for the big news- I am beginning to collect stories to put into Autism Is Not My Name!

The form attached for you if you are on the spectrum, and other loved ones or friends that you know that are anywhere on the Autism Spectrum of Disorders to document one or more life stories that have a significant chance of landing in the final copy of Autism is Not My Name! This is a call for one and all story submissions from those living with ASD, so please tell and forward this email to your friends, family, neighbors, school buddies, teachers and so on in order for me to get as many
stories as possible for the creation of this book.

If you are interested, please follow this link to the Google form and provide a story under a specific area such as everyday life, friendships etc. Before you submit your story, please make sure to add your contact
information so I can get a hold of you as this begins to move forward.

Please let me know if you have any trouble with the link, and I will do what I can to make sure I can get your story!

Thank you all again for your support, and I am very excited to read your stories!

Happy Writing!
