| Introduction | I am the mother of two teenage sons with autism and this fact has pretty much defined me for the past 15 or so years. Frustrated by the absence of opportunities, educational and otherwise, for people with autism, I started a Foundation and a School (both of which I operate) to help remedy that situation. I feel that I do indeed live on the "planet autism" as I like to call it. And while it can be physically and emotionally exhausting, it can also be a wonderful place. My journey with autism has probably been the best part of my life. |
