Win a copy of DJ Kirkby's From Zaftig to Aspie

I was lucky enough to win a copy of DJ Kirkby's From Zaftig to Aspie through a competition on Me and My Big Mouth.

In it Kirkby writes about her unusual childhood and her growing awareness that she was somehow different from other people.

"... What would you do if you discovered something inside of you that did not have a name? Read ‘From Zaftig to Aspie’ and discover one woman’s search to find out who she is."

It's an intriguing book written from a unique perspective, with lush descriptions and funny anecdotes. Above all, Kirkby writes with a searing honesty from first to last.

If you'd like my copy and you live in the UK, send me an email and I'll pass it on - in the meantime you can visit DJ's blog here or watch her book trailer here.
