"Who Else Needs Help and Advice With Autism, Aspergers, ASD ?" "I am here to empower parents and assist them in starting to enjoy their amazing children." "Our children are individuals before they are their label."

Dear Fellow Parent,

I am a 37 year old mother of two children, and my son has Autism / Aspergers / ASD.

I have over thirteen years experience with ASD / Aspergers / Autism,
both as a mother and as a consultant to parents, as well as holding the academic qualifications as ’Post Grad Cert in Advanced Disabilities Studies’. I am currently working on my Masters Degree In Human Services.

My son was affected very strongly by his social surroundings and his emotions that overloaded him every minute.

He was very suicidal, a self harmer, and had no school attendance due to severe meltdowns.

Watching your son wanting to die, and hating himself to his core is a very distressing experience for a mother and father and family to go through.

He was a runner who reminded me of “Forrest Gump”- he just kept running until he reached his destination.

When I share my knowledge with you I am coming first as a mother and secondly as an academic.

My son is now full time in school and his last exam result was an A+ for his math’s test! (Not bad for a child who has only been in school full time for three years.)

He is well aware of his surroundings and loves school, as much as any child loves school.

He is very talented in reading other people’s body language, and "reading" his surroundings.

I needed to teach my son and daughter ways to help them understand the world better.

I taught them through stories that I developed which teach them Social Rules and Social Ways, as well as addressing Emotions and Feelings.

I taught them how to respond in a manner that allows them to keep their uniqueness, and not feel they must change who they were originally meant to be.......
