Hi! I am an artist, author, and blogger who also happens to have Asperger’s Syndrome. I have won several awards and honors for my writings and artwork. I suffer from quite a few chronic illness and chronic pain conditions, which greatly affects my life and makes me want to advocate for others going through similar things. Other interests of mine include reading, writing, drawing, watching cartoons and movies, collecting toys, hanging out with my family, and annoying my 3 cats.
If you have any questions or would like to find out more about me, you can find me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter and Instagram, or contact me by email at shojobeatgirl@live.com. I am always looking for new ways to share my art and writing, so feel free to contact me about any publicity opportunities!
Check out my fun and nerdy YouTube vlog too: Maranda’s Collectibles & Books
To see my artwork and find out where to buy it, please visit the ‘Art Gallery’ page on this website, and to see the books that I currently have available, please visit the ‘My Books’ page on this website.
Wishing you all the best with your writing career!

Probably (self-diagnosed). I’ve gained immensely from the Autistic blogging community so I’m trying to give back in whatever way I can. (I don’t have the talent or inclination to write a personal blog.)

I think it is great that you are using your time to help support others. I suspected I was autistic for a while before I was officially diagnosed too.
