About the Author

Chris Bonnello is a writer and speaker, formerly a primary school teacher, based in Nottingham. Having been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome as an adult, he launched Autistic Not Weird (https://autisticnotweird.com) in 2015 to share his personal and professional insights whilst campaigning for greater understanding of autism. Since then he has won multiple awards for his work, published a non-fiction book, and spoken as far away as Sydney Opera House. To this day Bonnello maintains a link to teaching, working as a tutor for autistic students with special educational needs. Underdogs is his first novel, following his master's degree in Creative Writing.
