Andy's Nature: Asperger's, Obesity and the Supernatural

Hello, welcome to my website, and thank you for reading its opening sentence.

I'm Andrew Tait, an unemployable introvert from Northumberland, England. I've written a book, pictured left, about life on the autistic spectrum, with obesity, and a propounded supernatural phenomenon. 

At the age of five, I decided I wanted to write books, specifically, fictional ones. However, an irrational sense of shame would bar my attempts to write emotionally layered characters.

On finishing a meal, I couldn't seem to stop feeling hungry.

At school, instead of joining in with the other children, I wandered the playground in solitary concoction of random stories. I seemed unable to force myself to listen to teachers' instruction. Of such threats as getting hit in the face with a ball, solitary toilet visits and raised voices, I was inordinately scared.

Aged ten, I frequently found myself compelled to make silent promises to perform such mundane actions as touching a door in a certain way. 

Aged seventeen, in faces broadcast, recorded and encountered directly, I began to sense similarities which irresistibly persuaded me of their relation, independently of genetic transition, to each other. I term this phenomenon transgenic kinship. 

Aged twenty, I began to see such phenomena as, in a clear twilit sky, a star undeniably shrink from visibility, only to instantaneously reappear elsewhere in the cloudless sky.

Aged twenty-two, I spoke with a psychiatric nurse, who traced to the autistic spectrum my cognitive confusion, anxious disorientation, introversion and inordinate sensitivity. Shortly afterwards, I decided to translate my unorthodox existence into a book. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Cheers, 

Andy
