I am really excited to tell you all that I ha e published a new book!

Unusual Medicine: Essays on Autistic identity and drug addiction

This book explores my personal experiences with being Autistic and addicted to drugs and alcohol. It considers my recovery and what was unique about my experiences.

Alongside this, I also bring my professional insights as a person who works with Autistic addicts. I make suggestions on basic changes to services that would make them more accessible, and how we can change societies framing of addiction.

It is currently available on Amazon in most territories, and will also soon be available from some other online retailers.
