Guerilla Aspies: The Guerilla Aspies Handbook: A neurotypical society infiltration manual.

NOT FOCUSED ON THE EXTREME MALE BRAIN THEORY AT ALL. The gender section is free to read in the sample on here. I don't believe in 'male' except as a cultural projection? No idea why a reviewer would say that? Humour = taste...

Possibly the funniest book on autism you have ever read. Suitable for anyone, no matter how little you know.

Weird, emotional, staring, unpredictable and highly irrationally unstable. Welcome to the world of normal people. Got friends? Like laughing at less intelligent or capable people? Enjoy loud music and eating new food? Think a change is as good as a rest?

Of course not, but this is the world of 'them'. The Neurotypicals. The so called normal people. The majority of the people on our planet were born this way, whether some of us like it or not.

Now at last this unique book will explain how to 'blend in' - a Neurotypical survival skill - and be accepted as ordinary in any given situation. This exhaustive work outlines all scenarios and social possibilities.

You too can:
• Make pointless small talk.
• Get mutually emotional.
• Listen to people (despite always having something more interesting to say).
• Work in jobs in open plan offices, and know why your colleagues behave the way
they do.
• Sit straight for seconds on end.
• Go to parties and have sex with complete strangers!
• (Or just go to parties. Or just have sex with strangers. Or combine the two for an interesting social event).
• Discover how bad my old Polytechnic was.
• Insult others lack of abilities and normality compared to yourself and ‘your group’ - just like ordinary people do!
• Not follow routines and rituals (REALLY!)
• BE A NORMAL PERSON.

The funniest, most rock and roll book on being autistic and how to pretend you are not, yet written.

I defy you to find anything quite like it? Never in a million years likely to be published by Jessica Kingsley. Not the product of mummy-who-loves-little-lambkins-who-needs-to-pretend-they-are-something-they-are-not. By one of us, for anyone.

ABSOLUTELY ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF AUTISM/ASPERGERS REQUIRED. You can completely start from scratch. :)


The author was diagnosed at the age of 41 and married to another Aspie by 43. Paul Wady was worked for the National Autistic Society since the start of 2006, and is the voice of two of its YouTube films about what autism is, and the NAS's Network Autism forum. He has led social groups, taught meditation for 3 years in the Acton service, trained professionals all over the UK and made the training films for the Ask Autism modules that are available to buy through the NAS website. He currently works for the Brokerage department which provides support for people wanting to budget and employ their yearly grants of cash from the government.

Paul Wady has a free to download album called The Terminal Beach on Linear Obsessional Recordings, performs cabaret around London with little to no warning and a collection of YouTube films on his channel. He has been involved in the lunacy of the Self Advocacy Movement for so many years he tends to avoid it whilst being an acknowledged part of the great global scene.

Paul Wady has a show he performs around the book called the Guerrilla Aspies Cabaret, or show, depending on the venue.

Paul Wady was asked to leave East 15 drama school after a year for being too intense, and finally got a pass degree in Philosophy after 4 years of working on a 3 year course. Like Carol Vorderman got from Cambridge? He lives in London with Elizabeth his science teacher wife, and Pushkin the wonder cat. He has no children that he is yet aware of. He has spent far too much time in a buddhist movement and nowadays, needs to spend more.

It was all a matter of how to say everything at once? I hit upon this format of book and satirical style, as the perfect way to do it.

Please enjoy. Or suffer, depending?
