Autorenporträt
I was born in Auckland in New Zealand, but was brought up in England. Have been in New Zealand for 10 years and currently live in Wellington.

I was diagnosed with Mild Autism Spectrum Disorder, a neuro-developmental disability, three years ago at the age of 40, which came as a complete shock to me but made sense. I always thought something was different about me, but couldn't put my finger on what was wrong. My sister first new i was autistic in 1995, but never told me. The first time i heard the word Autism was in 1998, but didn't know what it meant. This is my first book.
