This past weekend we thoroughly enjoyed participating in the 27th annual Pasadena Chalk Festival here in our beloved home of Southern California. It was our 5th yr. on the ground amplifying the magnificence of the Autistic perspective in chalk at the world's largest street painting festival!! In past year's we have challenged this huge weekend

This week has been very difficult on the AutismHWY because we have lost our original patron saint, Catherine Louise Kirkland. My mother, Wyatt's grandmother, our rock of love and acceptance. Her calm and steady character has guided our HWY like the best GPS. Now she's taking a new, higher road where we will all meet again

There is an age-old saying about looking to the forest by perceiving beyond the trees. Go to the source #ActuallyAutistic people for inside information... I think most folks have learned if you only focus on one tree you will likely miss that the tree is part of a larger community, a stand, a grove

Going into our 8th year event I must say that "Southern California's hottest Autism acceptance" event has truly evolved! From a handful of friends and vendors chalking in various parking lots to the powerful diversity celebration in Downtown Covina that energizes our community locally & globally for Autism Acceptance every April! Creating a space for free reign Autistic creation

As we land into the year 2018 it seems that this is finally happening. People understanding the multi-faceted everyday marginalization of others and the harm that causes. We here at AutismHWY have been chalking up plans for this societal epiphany...all decade! Calling on people to please remember their humanity. Calling on people to listen to, respect and

Have you heard it? The "Maybe" commercial that Autism Speaks and the Ad Council are promoting over radio airwaves in these final days of 2017? We have and it is as obnoxious and misleading as any of their other "Autism Awareness" actions taken over the course of the organization's existence. The script for

That's what's happening. This universe, this planet, this country, this very vibrational moment in creation. Dimensions of humanistic expansions and remembrances of knowledge. Cutting edge knowledge that will be communicated through literature, science and the arts is truly about to blow-up! "In the air" photo taken by event founder Barbara Hinton after day
