· This is the first book to speak directly to neurotypical people and broaden out the audience of autistic books. It is the book to tackle the next great social injustice of our times - how society treats people with disabilities - in the way recent bestsellers have done for racism and gender. · The hardback had an incredibly strong and emotional response online and has sold over 7k TCM. · There are (as of late 2019) an estimated 1.6m autistic people in the UK, and likely another 2m people either caring for or in a relationship with an autistic person. · Pete is well-respected within the autism community and has a strong, engaged twitter following. · This topic will be very newsworthy - particularly chapters on school and the workplace - and Pete is a fantastic advocate. As an ex-teacher and having spoken at many autism conferences and events, he is very comfortable in front of an audience.
