He lived with his parents and two sisters and in 2019 he successfully moved into his own flat.He is a young man with high functioning autism.He struggles to speak his thoughts and feelings; he finds it difficult to meet and socialise with others. Writing enables him to express himself, to verbalise his thoughts and feelings.He is caring, he has a great dry sense of humour, and he is very creative.He enjoys writing imaginative short stories that incorporate some of his personal feelings and his past adventures. He also enjoys building clay and plasticine figures. He gives these figures individual names and character back-stories and then he writes short stories about them.He attended a mainstream school but he found school difficult. His classmates were extremely supportive, but children from other years and classes not so much. Despite this he continued to attend every day and he was given an award for the pupil who had made most advances in his secondary school.He tries to not allow his autism to stop him from fulfilling his dreams. He has travelled widely and has even swum with sharks.This is Nathan’s first book, about one of his characters. The name ‘Ruby Crab’ comes from his birth stone, Ruby, and his zodiac sign, the Crab.показать меньше
