My Aspie-Army Book Is Done
I have finished writing and editing the online version of my “An Aspie Does Basic…Badly.” The subtitle is “1971: Peace, Love And Remembering To Use The Front Sight On The M-16.”
The Prologue contains my biographical information and establishes the background for the Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., basic training saga that began on Sept. 3, 1971 and ended on November 5. The eight chapters are then presented.
With humor (at least I hope you’ll laugh) it tells the story of a scared-to-death Aspie and his struggle to get to the end of boot camp. Keep in mind this was during the Vietnam War when only a few researchers knew about the autistic spectrum.
The print version will be available in a few weeks. The main goal of this project is to increase the public awareness of Asperger’s. To that end, I’ll provide a book to anyone who wants one. Contact me at garretmath@gmail.com.
