In 2015 we are so connected. Finally, we can chat with our out of state OR international family and friends being connected to whomever we desire just about whenever we desire. It's awesome. In the Community surrounding Autistic people this has been BEYOND awesome. It has been groundbreaking. Instead of merely sitting in the

Another incredible, indelible year connecting ACCEPTANCE to the heARTS and minds of all that show up for our annual chalk party. Each year the momentum feels reinforced, more powerful.

Autism $peaks turned 10 years old this year. In 2005 when Bob and Suzanne Wright started their Autism conglomerate my son was 6 yrs. old with a two year old diagnosis of ...very Autistic. It didn't jolt me or upset me in the ways I had imagined as a young girl growing up daydreaming of children and

For the 4th year in a row I have enjoyed a quick trip to the coastal town of Carpinteria for chalking purposes! Chalk Art is truly an infectious occurrence. Everyone should try it! People, pavement, pastels = POWERFUL! On the first Friday in September, Carpinteria has hosted an informal chalk art expression happening at the delightful

We all receive our fair share of spam, which really doesn't seem fair at all! The never ending world of millionaires, Russian prostitutes, and hungry investors juxtaposed with Viagra and watch salesmen. I have to admit, it is a crazy carnival world I have conjured up in my mind. A world where you know it's a scam

Different dreams, different ways of being. We all have them and are quite aware of that. So why are people so afraid and uncomfortable with difference? Why do people cling to sameness, ridiculing (or worse) those that they perceive as "different"? Why would we all be the same in a world of unique and individual DNA? I

As a mom to an incredibly cool Autistic teen I do this a lot. Fill in the blanks. The blanks in thinking that my neurotypical mind had never considered before giving birth to my Autistic son! Perhaps, that is why the infamous puzzle piece was assigned to Autism decades ago. People weren't and
