Don't Lick The Mailbox by Denis Deasy
Like most people who have no connection to autism in their life, IT professional Danny has little or no knowledge of the condition. But that is about to change dramatically after he receives a Facebook message from his ex-wife of ten years on Christmas Day. It's an unexpected contact that proves to be the catalyst for a life-changing experience as Danny enters the baffling and unpredictable world of 11-year-old autistic boy, Sam.
I have self-published four books now. I have two sons at both ends of the autistic spectrum and, as I sometimes feel that the autistic media representation is not always accurate, I decided to write a fictional book about a father looking after his autistic son. Although this is a fictional storyline, it is based on my life's experiences, so I knew that my representation of autistic behaviours were true to life. I enjoyed the writing experience so much that I decided to write a trilogy of these same characters - detailing the issues of an autistic child growing up into manhood. I also wanted to highlight the strain bringing up an autistic child has on a marriage. In these books I write about some serious topics but there is also a lot of humour throughout. It's needed. I am just about to publish a fourth book with all new characters. Personally I have been happily married for thirty-six years and I work in IT.
