'Born On A Blue Day' Out Now in the US!

My book 'Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant' has just been released by Free Press in the US. It recently received a starred review in 'Kirkus' saying among other things: 'a riveting account of living with autism...he is quite poetic, especially when he writes about numbers...transcends the disability-memoir genre.'

Temple Grandin, the autistic author of 'Animals in Translation' and 'Thinking in Pictures' has kindly reviewed my book and is quoted on its back cover: 'This book is a must-read for anybody who is interested in how the mind works.'

I'm flying out to New York this weekend to appear on several TV and radio shows to help publicise the book's launch. I'm really looking forward to the whole experience!
