Hi Sid,

Thanks for doing this AMA, I’m a big fan of your work (especially your book!). I’m actually going down a similar route to you having just started my PhD in Spanish and Portuguese studies with an interest in academia and journalism as potential careers. I just wanted to ask you what it was that turned you against academia and towards sports journalism? Football is a particular passion of mine and I was wondering as well what advice you would give to a PhD student considering pursuing a career in European football journalism? Thanks!

Thank you for your response! Did you get involved in anything in particular at student level? Is there anything I need to be doing in specific? Cheers :)

Understood! I appreciate you getting back in touch with me - thank you :)

Thank you for your response! Could you give me some examples of how you might treat an Asperger's sufferer? Does your research apply to learning disabilities that manifest physically, such as Dyspraxia?

As someone with Asperger's Syndrome and Dyspraxia, do you think that your tests might have any application in the treatment of specific learning difficulties?
