I actually haven't had public speaking anxiety since high school. In fact, I have a special recipe for public speaking, and I mostly cover valuable information that has to do with autism. The entire thing started out as an assignment at Nashville State Community College, where we each had to give a presentation on what kind of degree we were working towards, and I was brave enough to go first. I'm also an accomplished novelist with one self published book and two more manuscripts on the way.
