I don't have the educational and medical credentials that would allow a book like this to be published (imho).
Actually Jessica Kingsley Press specializes (among other things) in shortish first person accounts by ASD people and books of strategies to deal with ASD children or to help ASD people deal with the world. Hm, on reflection, none of these categories have to be neurotypical people without education creds. But I'd read your book. These are really interesting posts, and the way you understand your son's point of view and explain it well is the best part. I'd say the things necessary in a parent-of-ASD-kid book are insight and good communication skills, and you have both.
