It's available in bookstores everywhere.Foreign editions are available in Australia (a RH bestseller for almost six months), England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Brazil. Translations for Italy, Malasyia, China, Spain and Portugal are coming.My next book will delve more deeply into issues of Asperger's and autism, and it will hbe illustrated by more of my entertaining stories.
