I am writing a fourth book, my third autism experience book. The working title is: “Autism Adulthood: Living a Fulfilled Life on the Autism Spectrum.” The book is to be largely based on interviews with people up and down the spectrum and their families. I will weave in my own narrative with Nat’s experience throughout the book. I decided to try interviewing Nat. I typed the questions and read each one to him, one at a time, with a lot of silent waiting so that he could come up with the answers. He would then say his answers and start typing. He would hesitate, and I would say, “Go ahead, Nat, type it.” And he would. Here is the transcript to the interview:<\/p>\n
