The evolution of Henry. Each book chapter is headed by a penguin. (Carryover from the cover.) Over time he was named Henry by the graphic designer. The bottom p...hoto is our final Henry the penguin who will be in the book. Autism Success - Helping Those On the Autism Spectrum Live Successful Lives.

The editor has finished with the book and it has also been through five rounds of proofreading. Today it was handed off to the graphic designer for interior lay...out and typesetting.

Every day I am getting pages back from the editor for the book. It can be humbling to get something back with red marks all over it, but typically isn’t too bad. At this rate the editor should be done in little over a week. Autism Success - Helping Those On the Autism Spectrum Live Successful Lives Should be available late May or June.

The book cover was finalized today. Looks like it will be available June, or possibly late May.

Photo is set for the author photo on the back cover of the book. Down to choosing between two cover variations. Will post as soon as things are final. Anticipate book release date some time in June.... Autism Success - Helping Those On the Autism Spectrum Live Successful Lives
