Hello everyone.

My name is Stuart. 'Cloudy' refers to my additional diagnosis of A.D.D.

I am an ancient person with Asperger's aged 64 who self-publishes stories. I am a trained artist too (where the clouds actually help quite a bit.)
I came here to explain that although I write my books they don't sell hardly at all and I have often wondered whether calling myself an autistic writer
(which I feel comfortable with) is a part of the problem. Maybe there are story writers here who have self-published too. If anyone is interested I can
provide the address of of my blog, although this is not why I came - I mean to push books at people. I think that mainly I am just curious what
people think about being creative and being on the spectrum. If there is another category where I should ask this then I will look now. This is basically
a hello to my fellow clouds.
 
Hi Stuart, welcome to the forum. Many of us here are prolific writers but more in the sense of info dumping than story writing. :) We have a few of the more artistically inclined here too.
