Biography as it appears on another site:

Undiagnosed Asperger's robbed him of life experiences for over fifty years. His love of music and books kept him centered. Unwavering love of living kept him from going bad, despite the rejection he felt on all fronts. He blamed an abusive step father for his life failures. Then he pursued and won the hand of a good woman and had an anchor holding him in place while he fought his battles. Their marriage resulted in a fragile bond that lasted through his remaining days on Earth. His writing a biographical novelette opened his eyes to Asperger's. He could release his step father, but only partially, from the blame he had placed on him. Additionally his condition had been assuaged somewhat by conditions of a job he worked in the final twenty three years of active employment. Desperation for money made him show up each day and there engage strangers face to face every working day. He experienced the art of conversation, expanding incrementally from job based commentary to personal exchanges. His conversation was repetitious and boring, mostly. Aware of his shortcomings, he developed strategies that helped him skirt problems that arose. By the time he left his job, he was honored by one and all. He retained friendships and visited many from retirement. Not knowing how to sell a novelette length semi autobiographical work, he turned to a novel of a man's odyssey from a life of debauchery to a more conventional way of living. A work he has completed and is now looking to get published..
