About Denis Deasy

I have now self-published five books. I have two sons at both ends of the autistic spectrum and as I sometimes feel that the autistic media representation is not always accurate I decided to write a fictional book about a father looking after his autistic son. Although this is a fictional storyline it is based on my life's experiences so I knew that my representation of autistic behaviours were true to life. I enjoyed the writing experience so much that I decided to write a trilogy of these same characters - detailing the issues of an autistic child growing up into manhood. I also wanted to highlight the strain bringing up an autistic child has on a marriage. In these books I write about some serious topics but there is also a lot of humour throughout. It's needed. My fourth and fifth books have all new characters again exploring the impact of living with autism. Personally I have been happily married for thirty-seven years and I work in IT.
