A woman who very recently discovered she is autistic has today made the shocking announcement that she has no imminent plans to write an autobiography.
Siobhan Moorton, a white middle-class woman who was diagnosed as autistic last month at the age of 30, has defied stereotypes by not immediately signing a publishing deal.
Moorton explained: “Despite my highly eventful 30 years on this planet so far, I’ve resisted calls to detail my years from birth to the crisp I just ate off the floor five seconds ago. At least, I think it was a crisp.”
“After reading Drama Queen by Sara Gibbs, I did think about it,” Moorton admitted. “I mean, it seems like they let anyone do it.”
“But honestly I think I’ll wait,” continued Moorton. “At least until I get my inevitable comorbid ADHD diagnosis.”
Moorton was last seen writing a lengthy blog post about her diagnosis in order to “scratch the itch.”
