Press release for Finding Life on Mars
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
5/15/2018
Finding Life on Mars by Colorado Springs psychologist Jason Dias hits the atmosphere!
A neurodivergent novel written by a neurodivergent author.
Finding Life on Mars invites us into the world of Jaye, a young woman born to a failing colony on Mars. This story takes us through her mission of survival, the ongoing existential crisis born of the external and internal threats propelling Jaye’s self-discovery. Survival may depend on solving technical problems, however through Jaye’s struggle to be human we are shown how the gravity of life is dependent on something else entirely.
Finding Life on Mars is the seventh novel written by Jason Dias of Colorado Springs, CO. A clinical psychologist and professor with autism, he welcomes us into science fiction story telling through the neurodivergent lens of cognitive differences such as dyslexia, ADHD and autism.
Jason Dias, PsyD says, “I’m an autistic psychologist. Temple Grandin has thought of herself as an anthropologist on Mars: a perpetual outsider, studying humans less out of interest than out of the need to survive here. Some of us are gifted strange, narrow interests. One young man I worked with designed and built models of drains to watch the water go through. Another was obsessed with tires. Me? I’m fascinated by humans and am constantly stuck in the outsider perspective while seeking the inside view.”
