Congratulations, John! I'm almost finished with the book and really love it. I can relate to so many parts of it though I'm not Aspergian. Well, maybe a little!
Could you have imagined all of this a year ago? I admire how you've reinvented yourself so many times over the course of your life. Which prompts the question, of course, what will John do next? Congratulations, you're a superstar.

congratulations! that's fantastic! and yes, well deserved.
When I was reading your book, I must have had to stop reading a dozen times, I was laughing so hard!
I tried to talk to my wife about it, but she had momentarily 'turned' on me. Heh....
My daughter picked the book out when we shopping at Costco. She is Aspergian and was immediately attracted to the picture of the boy with his eyes closed and the admonishment to: Look me in the eyes!
Well done John - your book and you deserve the credit you are receiving. You are, as Tony Atwood says, resilient - the hope I have for my 17yr old Aspergian son for whom life is very bad right now. I will recommend your book to his doctor.

Kudos to you, John.

Totally different kind of story though.

Loved the book!
If I'm not so lucky to win Church Lady's contest, I'll just have to plunk down the cash for a copy soon. Border's is calling me...
