'm autistic. Born 1953. I was not a product of a vaccine. I was not a product of disease. I was not born to be pitied.

I was born to raise Hell. Autistic style.

I'm not out to inspire you. Or even reassure you, everything's gonna be okay. I'm out to give you an experience... of a life.

Our stories... each illuminates a corner of our "Strange World." That 97% of humanity can never travel to.

The unvarnished pain. And... the moments of joy.

In all their glorious extremes.

Not polite, polished, "arty" work...

But simple, direct language. Built in layers... with no hidden meanings.

Cuz deep inside this gruff, septuagenarian exterior, I still hold onto my enthusiastic belief...

If we understand each other, we can raise a little Hell... together.
