Ashley documents the ups and downs of trying to make friends while being ‘weird’ - or an undiagnosed autist.

Relating more to wizards, aliens and ghosts since childhood, Ashley has developed her own unique ways of seemingly 'fitting in’, despite the confusing world of human relationships.

After a childhood full of failed attempts, Ashley spent years obsessing over how to solve the problem of making friends in the only way she knows how - using strategies and methodical research within her peer group.

Now she shares her findings, as well as the epiphany she reached at the end of her study.

Expect niche cultural references, streams of consciousness and a healthy dose of Harry Potter references.
