This diary reflects the personal journey of someone searching for their place in the world, grappling with exhaustion and uncertainty about the future. Amidst the pressure of studies and career choices, the narrator questions if they are on the right path. The search for identity and purpose becomes a shared experience, capturing inner struggles, solitude, and the need for self-understanding in an uncertain world.

ExxxxxxxxxxxxxPLOSION!!!!

No, it's not an action story. So no blowing cars, I'm sorry. But have you ever felt like that, like exploding. Like you're feeling so much, there's no way to contain it. I feel like that all the time.

Poor me.

What can be worse?

(Grin) That it gets worse.

Can it?

(Grin)

The story of two boys with troubled pasts who find that the future canget better. I'm also publishing this story on Royal Road.

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!

INTRODUCING THE BOOK "THE APPLE OF MY PARENTS' EYES"

"I am sick and tired of you, you know? I am here to spend time with you and all you do is ignore me each time I try to strike a relationship with you. Do I smell or what?"

I looked at her. "Listen, I just want to be alone, OK? You have to get used to it."

Above is the excerpt from my book showing the interaction between an Autistic child and her cousin.

My name is Okoye, Favour Odira, a writer and a poet. I am here to introduce my book, which is founded on the bedrock of Autism. Autism is a type of disorder in both children and adults, that tampers with their brains and makes them less receptive to people around them. Autistic people are very intelligent or witty when they desire to. Otherwise, they can lock themselves up and won't open up to people.

The fear and struggle in this area are indeed perplexing but not insurmountable. This has brought about anxiety and a lack of responsibility from the majority of parents and guardians towards the autistic individual, thereby leading to a series of neglect and offering them for adoptions.

These issues caused me to coin my novel 'The Apple Of My Parents Eyes.' This is a novel with great insights. More so, it brings an outstanding and irrepressible faith to every individual who is directly or indirectly involved in this...

With the increasing rise of Autism in the world, there needs to be a focal point to educate parents and guardians, and proffer a working solution and hope to them. This book also highlights the relationship between parents and guardians, children and the way your actions determine the outcome of your life.

A book of 12,445 words which can be termed a short story, is my first attempt to point people to autism and the solution thereof. This is the reason I am knocking on your door for you to aid me, who was autistic before, in getting this book into the hands of innumerable no of people in Nigeria and beyond.

Tiara always wished that her life was completely normal without her older sister, Lisa,who was also autistic, around.For a chance of escape,she went into a camping trip in the forest but was forced to bring Lisa along by their mother .Things took turn for the worst when her sister was found missing along with other groups of students.

That's when she realized things at the supposedly normal, summer  camp is not  what they seem..and she had to save her sister before her parents kill her, if theydidn't get hold of her first..
