Book Launch Friday 25th May
In Hullavington Village Hall
This book is the true story of a boy called Luke. It is
his story, but because we are his family, it is ours too.
Luke wants his story told, he wants people to
understand him and others like him and he knows that knowledge is the key to
life
Luke has so many labels that he has his own
business cards printed with all the letters after his name "Luke Dicker : child
with Aspergers Syndrome , ADHD and chronic anxiety", which he hands out to
introduce himself. Like a lot of children on the autistic spectrum he is hell on
two legs: funny, angry, aggressive, misogynistic, politically incorrect,
pedantic and very insightful into his own condition. He is a toddler
emotionally, with the intellect of a twenty year-old all wrapped up in a
teenagers body. He can bore the pants off you or fascinate you by equal measures
in a loud and monotone voice but you can't ignore or forget him. Black or
white, no grey areas. He takes everything literally and personally
