My Kid is a Damn Nutter

[Clodfobble]

Heh.

The problem with that title is, most parents of children with autism are not known for having great senses of humor. They're touchy mama bears who are used to everyone misunderstanding and judging them, and if I'm saying my kid is a damn nutter, then I'm saying theirs is too. It might draw in others, but it will decidedly alienate most of the autism population. It's one thing to be funny in context in the book, but that title without context is the equivalent of "All Autistic Kids are Assholes: A Mother's Story."

Anyway, we went with a variation on the original. I don't want to put it here because I don't want this thread to be particularly google-able, but I'm confident you'll see it someday. Three publishers currently reading the manuscript.

The last thing you need is to to have book readers come here and hound you, and then you would stop coming around, and we'd miss you.
