Wise-guy detective with Asperger Syndrome saves New York from villainy!
Alexei Maxim Russell writes fiction, non-fiction, poetry screenplays and dramatic scripts. In addition to being a writer, he is an advocate for building awareness concerning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and his interest in AS inspired him to create Trueman Bradley, a positive role model and hero for those with AS. He hopes the book will help people to understand that AS is not a disability, it is a different way of thinking and not a "wrong" way of thinking. Alexei lives in Winnipeg, Canada.
if you're looking for some light-hearted fiction that beautifully -
and wittily - illustrates the best advantages of Asperger's whilst
vividly bringing to life its accompanying difficulties, it's a
great read.

Let me start by saying I didn't know a lot about Asperger's
Syndrome prior to reading this. Whilst it's not meant as a work of
non-fiction, I feel I've come away with some insights as to what
Asperger's is, the prejudices surrounding it and an idea of how
someone with Asperger's might behave... I thought this was an easy
to read and follow book... Truman's character, mannerisms and the
way he logically does things made for interesting reading. This has
some unseen twists which compliment the storyline well.
*Clover Hill Book Reviews*
In my desire to curate a definitive collection of books for people
on the autism spectrum, I enjoy learning of and reading new titles.
Among the books I recommend is a growing list of fiction in which
the main character has Asperger's syndrome.... "Trueman Bradley:
Aspie Detective" combines detective fiction and fantasy to advocate
for the abilities of people on the autism spectrum. It's a welcome
addition to my recommended stories that feature an Aspergian
protagonist. I enjoyed this book, which is written by Alexei Maxim
Russell and is published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. It
presents characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome as assets in a
professional career. It uses dramatization to illustrate prejudice
and misconception about people who are on the spectrum.

I want to make everyone aware of a rather fun novel called "Trueman
Bradley: Aspie Detective" by Alexei Maxim Russell. This book is
ideal for the new novel reader, young tween or teen. It is perfect
(depending on their reading level) for older elementary or middle
school students.... If you are a teacher, a social worker, or
psychologist, this is a terrific book to use during diversity
education, in order to promote compassion, understanding and
acceptance for those who "march to their own drummer." Trueman
Bradley is a wonderful way to teach others how aspies think, feel
and understand the world around them.
*Raising Asperger's Kids: Book Review*
Trueman Bradley is a young man with Asperger Syndrome who wasn't
diagnosed until later on in his youth and he so badly wants to be a
detective, just like Slam Bradley, the comic-book hero he idolizes.
So, he moves from the small town of Heartville, Illinois, where he
grew up to the mad, bustling world of New York City, with the loud
traffic noises that he hates so much.... Throughout the book (which
I couldn't put down!) Trueman learned how to pick up subtle cues
and to better figure out how the others were feeling, in different
situations and he formed some very close friendships. This is a
fabulous way for a young person to learn about Asperger Syndrome in
a positive way, without being talked down to or being preached at.
This one's a winner.

My copy of 'Trueman Bradley' is very dog eared because it has been
read by all my family and many of my friends and we all love it...
It is actually quite hard to describe because it is not to adults.
It is for people on the spectrum, people interested in people on
the spectrum but is equally applicable to anyone who likes escapism
in the form of a light detective story with a moral... This book is
unique and subtly educates, entertains and can be shared across the
generations. I hope it will be made into a tv series or film for
family viewing with the first asperger hero. I highly recommend
this book - delightfully different and indulgent fantasy for
everyone.

Trueman Bradley is an endearing, plucky, and determined protagonist
who has readers cheering for him throughout the book. Though he
wants to be a famous crime solving detective like his comic heroes
Slam Bradley and Dick Tracy, Trueman, and his Aspergers, teaches
readers that sometimes the bravest things we are required to do in
life are those that we take for granted - being able to cross the
street, and make true friends.
*Shana Nichols, Director of the ASPIRE Centre for Learning and
Development and author of Girls Growing Up on the Autism
Spectrum*
A brilliant but unconventional detective is a perfect way to
illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of an Aspie. I love how
Trueman typifies the vulnerabilities of an Aspie... and yet shows
how thinking outside the box, is a strength that few neuro-typicals
possess... Trueman is intriguing and that will make readers hungry
for more.
*Kathy Hoopmann, author of the Asperger Adventures Series*
Trueman Bradley is a quirky, charming novel... From the opening
lines I was gently gripped...First and foremost Trueman Bradley
entertains and enchants but a secondary benefit is that he educates
the reader about Aspergers and shows it as an asset. I look forward
to many more Trueman Bradley Stories.
*Anna Van Der Post, research psychologist and author of Children
and Teenagers with Aspergers*
The writing style is very simple, straightforward language - in
keeping with the thought processes of the protagonist - but the
plot twists are complex and interesting, and fit together well.
*Erika Hammerschmidt, autism advocate and author of Born on the
Wrong Planet*
This is a fantastic book in which the reader really gets to know an
individual with Asperger's and all of the benefits and challenges
that this can bring to relationships and life. A great read!
*Anna Tickle, clinical psychologist and co-author of Exploring
Bullying with Adults with Autism and Asperger Syndrome*
As an educator who had worked with students with Asperger's, I was
delighted to read 'Trueman Bradley - Aspie Detective'. The novel
was not only a fun read, it provides tremendous insight into the
world as seen through the eyes and understanding of a young man
with Asperger's. It's a story where ability triumphs over
disability. Trueman's incredible gift, to understand the world
through his complex math formulas, his penchant for innovation and
invention to implement his formulas and solve problems, are
incredible triumphs for a young man who has struggled to fit in and
find simple comforts in the complex environment in which he
functions.
It also portrays the reality of stigma and the lack of
understanding that people hold for what remains for many a
misunderstood and mysterious disorder. Trueman Bradley will help
people understand Asperger's and give reason for people to pause
and reflect on how they view those who are faced with challenges in
their lives. Trueman Bradley will help people to see past the
challenges and appreciate the gifts that each of us possess.
