...Why is this under "getting to know eachother" category, not "art, writing, and music"?

Amazon characterizes it as "notes on autism & autistics in a neurotypical world".

Maybe it should be under "General Autism Discussion" or "In-Depth Adult Life Discussion"?

I'm more wary of it being a blind affiliate link with posted no explanation or introduction. It looks like the author may be self-promoting it here.

it needs a product description and graywyvern without a space looks like its a word in a foreign language, so it made me think it was a non-english book for a few seconds.

I had to persevere to be able to read the sample and then the book itself seemed interesting.

A wyvern is a mythical dragon-like creature that possessed two legs and often a pointed tail, which was said to be poisonous.

If you know your Welsh history, you'd know about the banner carried by Owain Glyndŵr (the last native-born Welshman to hold the title Prince of Wales) which featured a gold wyvern, the banner is known as "Y Ddraig Aur" ( translates as The Golden Dragon, but it's technically a wyvern :nerdy:

"Art, Writing, and Music" seemed the most appropriate destination for a post announcing a short, self-published book which according to the "Look Inside" link on Amazon, is a collection of thoughts/musings the OP had posted to his thread elsewhere on WP.

(it's maybe worth noting that owing to the way post moving is implemented on WP, the thread is still available in the original forum as a "Moved:" link - which ends up here)

As a member in good standing, albeit an "infrequent flyer", I think we can let slip a little self-promotion by an author of his own work.

I'm sorry... Is this a book you've written? Or is it something you're discussing?
