Ahh Hi.

I'm just a high functioning weirdo that writes for a living.

School did not go well for me growing up, but my grandfather got me into writing on a Tandy computer when I was young. I'm not 100% sure, but I think 7 of my books were published before I graduated in 1999.

I own a tinny publishing company that I use to publish my books.

Hello. Welcome to Autism Forums! Congratulations on your books. May I ask what topics you like to write about? I like writing too.
 
I mostly write drama, but also do some short stories and poems.

It should of been tiny, but there is nothing better than laying under a tin roof in the rain for writing.

Greetings from one who has often jumped in head first and described myself as a tad weird to NTs so as to get the strange looks, that I often invoke in others, out of the way as soon as possible.

I earned my living at writing as well, but it was in a language only computers could understand. :D

May you find the web site as informative, relaxing, and enjoyable as I have in my short time here.

Welcome!
 
Hi Bob and welcome to the forums.

I am fascinated by your "tiny publishing company". How did you do that? Is it able to support you financially?
 
Welcome @WasItBob , A lot of my career was writing reports from testing pharmaceutical processes that was required by the FDA. This was technical writing but also a legal document with my name associated with it.
 
@MyLifeAsAnAspie I grew up in a bad house hold and ended moving in with my grandparents in my early teens. He spent a lot of time with me and with lots of work helped my understand the way my brain worked and put it to use. I have been more than able to support my family very well off my books and I'm sure my 2 kids (17 & 19) take over the publishing company it will also support them if they work it out right.
@Gerald Wilgus I would never be able to do that type of writing. Most of my writings are useless with out a good editor.

I would like to thank you all for the kind welcome.
 
Hi and welcome, good to hear you are doing ok financially, self employment can be a great way forward if you find the right niche. It's good that you found us, hope you will feel free to join in discussions and share your ideas and views.
