I found this by way of an Aspergers blog and am glad I did. I think I will be adding this book to my holiday wishlist.

Loved reading the excerpt. Will definitely get my hands on this novel. I too know a boy/man diagnosed with Asperger’s..a boy so bright he was in the gifted program in elementary school, and who we all thought would be a university professor some day. Today he works in a fast food joint, and still lives at home. I’m very interested in reading your novel.

The book sounds fab, and what makes it more special is that I have close friends who can associate with the issues that Edward faces in his life. If reading this book will enable me to understand (if only on a surface level) the daily challenges that our friends face, I will move forward one more space on the board.

I can help with the shipping costs to London should I be the first name out of the hat.

Oh I can’t wait to read it and find out how it went–did he make it on time for Dragnet or did Joy grab his…hahahaha. Love that thought process. I have an 11 boy with Aspergers and there are so many interesting little quirks- the thought process…the fixations. We have had the TV show dilemma countless times. I like that it’s the backstory, b/c there is so much more to people than AS, that’s just a part of them. I may be too late to enter to win, and if so, no worries. I will be getting the book. Best of luck and thanks for choosing this type of character and bringing more exposure to AS!!
ps Broadview, Crowne Plaza, does this take place in Illinois? Indiana?

@Kim: My son is 7 with ASD – I too find stories about adults with similar challenges interesting because I can’t help but wonder sometimes what his life will be like years from now. : ) Thanks for reading! ~Kim
