I'm Ally and from the UK. I've been writing for many years on and off but a bit rusty still in places. I absolutely love books and shout about them from the rooftops.

Chapter Sixteen- Ending My Old Life

The real-life tale of me after being diagnosed with autism in March 2019.

Since my diagnosis, it's always been my goal to share my experiences and thoughts with others around the world. It's not only informative and educational, but it's also a good creative outlet for me when it comes to letting go of my mind. Autism shouldn't be silenced. If you have your own experiences to share or any other questions, don't hesitate to DM me or drop a comment on any of the chapters. Thanks for reading!

Chapter five onwards was written during April Camp Nanowrimo 2020!
