David is dying, or maybe he isn’t. Hard to say, really, because no one ever gives you a timetable when you’re disabled, autistic, queer, and stuck improvising your way through existence. What he does know is this: if life is going to keep punching him in the gut, he might as well write it all down first.
A Life in Too Many Margins is the story of a man looking backward while time keeps nudging him forward. From childhood misunderstandings to medical disasters, David is collecting the fragments of a life shaped by truths he didn’t discover until far too late: that he’s neurodivergent, that his body will never play by the rules, and that gender was never the box people insisted it had to be.
If you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built with you in mind, or if you just enjoy a dark laugh in the middle of disaster, David’s story will remind you that sometimes the only place where real life happens is in the margins.

S. E. Thomson is a queer, trans, autistic, and disabled writer who specializes in finding humor in places it probably shouldn’t be. He writes about identity, chronic illness, and the general chaos of being a human person with too many tabs open. Thomson's work blends sharp honesty with dark humor because if you don’t laugh, you will absolutely cry, and he’s already done enough of that.
