Summary
Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically "different" slant of eye-opening, blunt, and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life.
Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation, often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling!
But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my "blunt and to the point" discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!
