Special_talent123 Report post Posted December 11, 2011 Basically remembering seeing that autistic me documentary, and I were in a cafe with my laptop writing my autobiography ' A day in the life of an autistic girl'? well just want to let you know I am really doing really well on it. I have got 38 pages and 7,385 words. I keep reviewing for mistakes. it has taken at least 3 years to write, thats because i changed the cover and it looks awesome now, and editing alot and writing more chapters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CEJesson Report post Posted December 11, 2011 Don't worry about time, mine has taken 5 years! Writing a reflection of own experiences is not supposed to be an easy task Best wishes. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Seems like I'm in a minority of one in being so reluctant to write my own autobio... http://www.asd-forum...utobiographies/ You can make that 2! Just read your comment (after following the link) had to quote you "I wasn't too keen - seems like a surefire way to alienate everyone I've ever known." It sure does! And that's a brilliant reason not to for some people - I'd have to either not think of anyone's feelings at all - in which case everyone would hate me, or, I'd think of them too much and I'd write a pile of lies - probably best not to bother Anyway, I haven't done anything interesting enough to write about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkshine Report post Posted December 13, 2011 Its sort of a compliment and only slightly I couldn't do write a book, so its sort of being impressed that you are - sorry about going off-topic a little It does sound like you are doing pretty well so far how long do you think it will take you to finish the book?
