I’m new to Medium and new to short-form writing as well. I’ve spent the past decade researching and writing a book centered around the four autistic neurological trajectories that I have unearthed trough the mounds of available research. My description of the four trajectories has been accepted for publication in Autism Open Access, an academic journal highlighting the latest discoveries regarding autism. The article hasn’t been published yet; I’m hoping to find a home for my book, Implicit Language, first.

The course of my research has led me in various directions: genetics, neurology, linguistics, history, the modern educational system, and more. What I have found has wide-ranging implications for all of western society, not just those on the spectrum.

I hope that my writing can bridge that gap between different groups, illustrating that we are all perfectly different from one another and offering valid explanations for why such differences exist.

It has been a pleasure getting to know the editors and publishers on Medium, and I’m so excited for this new journey.
