<br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was with heartfelt sadness that we learnt of Donna's passing recently.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Professionally, Donna was an inspiration and amazingly talented woman. Her devotion to advocacy for the Autism communities was expressed passionately, creativity and with a wonderful zest. The times that Donna and I were able to either sit together and chat - particularly the time Donna spent with my youngest son, instantly noticeable was a mutual connection between them - or communicate via email, were always fun, interesting, and offered a kindred spirit of souls living with and working in the Autism field.</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donna offered not only mutually complementary insights, but her wonderfully cheeky sense of humour in sharing her understanding, empathy, knowledge and unselfish willingness to devote her time to those who either sought her advice/counsel or those fortunate enough too to have her delight in sharing one on one chat time and friendship with her. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donna's gifts of writing, paintings and indelible knowledge of the Autism Spectrum; beautiful soul and passions, will leave this world with an irreplaceable legacy of vitally important knowledge and wisdom. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donna is survived by her soulmate and perfect-match Chris. They were so blessed to be each other's partner. Bless you Chris. xx</span><br />
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f4cccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will miss you Donna xxx</span><br />

<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry I haven't posted much since early 2016. Last year was a very difficult year with family health issues and the passing of my beautiful mother. I am hoping that 2017 will be a better year for my family and that I will complete or work on more of my books and other projects, and place some new posts here.</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone has a wonderful 2017.</span><br />
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the meantime;</span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not many of you may know that apart from writing my own books regarding the Autism Spectrum and children's stories, I am also a co-author of the Nine Degrees of Autism. This was an international collaboration with several experts in the field of Autism and Psychology. I am very honoured to have been chosen by this international team, and primarily the instigator and mastermind of the project, Philip Wylie.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #93c47d; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you follow the link below, you can read a synopsis, reviews, editor<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">s, subjects and contents information regarding this wonderful work. It was published in 2016 by Routledge [UK]. This year I am hoping to write Book 2 of my own "Heart Shields and Arrows" [Autism - non fiction] and publish this too. If you know other professionals in the field of Autism and/or psychology, or anyone living with and/or working with folks on the Spectrum, they may be interested in the "Nine Degrees.." and "Heart Shields and Arrows" works.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
Could what we, as parents, witness in our autistic children as
obsessions, really be the indicator of passions and innate talents?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
Could these passionate interests become an area of expertise for the
autistic person who is now a child and soon to grow towards adulthood? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
Should we discourage what appear to be obsessions by ‘training' for
reduced behaviours in these areas and hope to influence the child to
become more generalized (normalized) in their daily behaviours?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
If we do aim to divert energies away from such passions, could we be
halting or stifling that serious endeavor of intrigue and a natural gift
towards nurturing a potential genius in a given ‘area' or natural
inclination of interests? If not genius in potential, perhaps a natural
progressive and intensely personal interest which could open up a field
of exploration (career wise?) in the future?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> Could that
intrigue with lineated toys; the spinning top; curiosity with the shape
of things; what sounds things make; the feel of an object; the rhythm
‘read' in music; bugs in the garden; the weather patterns; the lure of
the sea; the patterns, colours and feel of paint on a canvas; the
beautiful pitch of a constantly practiced singing voice; relentlessly
digging holes in the backyard after the discovery of an intriguing
‘object' in the first hole dug; the repetitive plucking of the strings
of a violin........and so on..., be the beginning of an amazing future
in design, physics, writing music scores, entomology, meteorology, art,
opera, oceanography, archeology, concert violin and so on......?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
Just as we should assist our autistic children with daily living,
educational, social, behavioural skills for example, to enable them to
achieve a quality, healthy, happy and safe life experience (serving to
enhance their important rightful place and acceptance in this world);
which could mean temporarily and momentarily diverting their attention
from those passionate interests to acquire or improve on such skills.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">
Passions are not a sign of bad behaviours or necessarily responding
anxiously and negatively to a stimulus. Though a retreat into a
passionate area of interest may be in response to stresses or anxiety; a
place of familiarity and comfort to escape unwanted, undesired or
overwhelming stimulus.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #93c47d; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> The
intensity of this retreat can be detrimental to the individual's wellbeing
if, for</span></div>
<span style="color: #93c47d;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">example, the passion involves potentially
risky physical activity. One example of this, which I can use to
explain what I mean here is – an experience of a young autistic man,
whose passion is building, repairing and riding motorbikes. One day he
felt so sensorally overloaded with various stressors, that he jumped on
his motorbike and went flat-out down the local freeway; endangering his
life and that of others. Luckily he returned home safely. Fortunately
too, he realized that such an action was not the best choice of response
to his anxieties.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> Another example, is where a young
autistic boy, who had a fascination with all things to do with planes
and helicopters, felt upset with those around him at school one day. So
upon hearing and seeing a large plane fly above him, he decided to
follow it – completely absorbed with its' sound and movement. He crossed
roads without looking for traffic and ended up in the next town.
Fortunately he stopped in his tracks, not moving, when it had gone out
of sight and sound. Also, and most fortunate of all, a kind passer-by
recognized his school uniform; phoned the school and the police, and
this young lad was returned to the safety of his school and relieved
mother.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> Most passionate interests are usually safe in
nature and an incredibly important and intrinsic element in an autistic
person's life.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> We should not confuse them (passions)
with 'poor' behaviours which need ‘rectifying' or dulling for what may
be considered ‘normalization'. Behaviours which may be deemed injurious,
unsafe or unhealthy, for example, need to be addressed with the
autistic person/child. Discovering the cause of the anxieties or
concerns which produce such responses/behaviours must be ascertained and
the appropriate assistance provided to the autistic person to reduce or
eliminate them, for the quality of life.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"> Healthy
passions can be nurtured along with providing a balanced life skill set
of conditions and experiences to assist our autistic children grow and
prosper in this sometimes busy, confusing, unforgiving and overwhelming
world.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have created a new blog, which is exclusively created to highlight my books, eBooks and articles regarding the autism spectrum.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyone who is interested in the autism spectrum, whether you be a parent, educator, other professional, friend, family member or a person on the spectrum, can choose which product suits their interests or needs and can purchase one of my Ebooks, paperbacks or articles, some for not much more than the cost of a cup of coffee. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="http://booksforautism.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">"Books for Autism"</a> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am currently </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">in the process of adding my eBooks, articles, books and other related pieces of information, so this new site will gradually be built upon with various subjects regarding the autism spectrum. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have a wonderful day everyone.</span></span><br />

King is the epitome of an inspirational person living with autism,
whose words can inspire other persons on the spectrum to be individual,
unique and just be themselves with pride. She also offers a wonderful
insight into her experience, which assists with autism awareness and
advocacy, and helps educate people about the spectrum. She is a terrific
young woman.</span></span></span></span>Louise Pagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01877371980944574464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013972191632180766.post-35106658375895985812015-02-14T10:48:00.001+11:002015-02-14T10:48:10.456+11:00Valentine's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought I would share with you some great videos on social skills ideas for persons on the Autism Spectrum.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They a produced with a great bunch of professionals and persons on the Spectrum.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I feel these are the sort of videos which can relate ideas in a way which many young persons, who may be struggling a little with social interactions, could be very comfortable with and find enjoyable. Personally, I have observed increased social skills training successes when the autistic person is actually 'relating' with another person on the Spectrum who can share their ideas and similar peer related feelings and skills with one another or in a group.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The video below uses a robot (in a space theme) to complement several interactions.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is terrific. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The website is called <a href="http://www.9thplanet.org/index.html" target="_blank">9th Planet </a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> feel it is one of the best sources of social skills assistance I have seen for a while. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">an introductory video for you all to have a look at - enjoy ;)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">I have been absent from my blog for some time now, due to having taken approximately 2 years overall off my work due to ill health.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">I have jotted the odd post and article on sites such as <a href="http://au.linkedin.com/pub/louise-page/2a/434/b43" target="_blank">LinkedIn </a>and a couple of others, but have not been practicing in the counselling field. In my 'time-off' writing has still been one of my obsessive pleasures, and I have mountains of notes weighing down my desk currently. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Also recently I was commissioned to co-write for a new developmental model for the Autism Spectrum - details of which I will elaborate on soon. This model is still in the process of being finalized and is yet to be passed by a medical/psychology board at a university in England. It was an honor to have been chosen as a co-author for this project and I was very humbled to have received the request. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">I also write/post for a website's general science section, regarding earthquake activity (another of my passions -seismology/geology).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">In 2014, I will be writing articles and ebooks regarding the Autism Spectrum. Some of these articles will be freely available to read and use on your websites and elsewhere, whilst others (including my books) will be available for purchase, hopefully through this website. I am in the process of piecing everything together and getting a bit better tech savvy in the process :)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Thankyou to those folks who have still been visiting my blog or are new to visiting here. It will be an even better place to pop in on in 2014 and in the meantime you may see some changes to the blog here and there. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Cheers to you all,</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Louise</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hi folks.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I
have created a new video for the relaxation and enjoyment (hopefully)
for our wonderful Autism communities, and anyone else who wishes to
watch it of course ;)</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I haven't been posting here much, though I hope that in 2014 this will change.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For now and I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas season.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Below is a poem I wrote some time ago and feel it is very relevant to the memory of this wonderful woman who understood and personally related to my children - bless her beautiful soul.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">One day, a beautiful white butterfly</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">With soft and delicate wings</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Became trapped in an enveloping net</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">And could no longer dance and sing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Now she was only able to dream of</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Fluttering about in the trees</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Seeking scented white flowers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">And dancing on autumn leaves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Soon the door of this ‘cage’</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Opened to set her free</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">She ventured out and beyond</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">And away, and was free.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">No more of the pain</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">This cruel existence did give</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Of feeling trapped, energy sapped</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">And struggling to be and live</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">So, if you see her fluttering by</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">On a gentle breeze, a flower or tree</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">Smile for her; she can spread her wings</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f4cccc;">No net, no cage – she is finally free.</span><br />

<span style="color: #d99694; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #D99694; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: accent2; mso-themecolor: accent2; mso-themetint: 153;"> Autism Awareness</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">I’ve been
discussing the topic of “Autism Awareness” with some other mums recently, and
one of the most impassioned phrases, which became the core of our conversation
was – “How can we help with strengthening the message for all?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">We all, as
parents and carers of our children on the Spectrum, hope that the awareness and
understanding of the Autism Spectrum will become ‘universal’ one day, and that
complete acceptance and respect of their beingness will just be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">But for this
to be realized, the compassion, empathy and soulfulness of those who may
struggle with concepts of understanding the uniqueness and individuality inherent
in humanity, needs to be captured in a way that information offered for
understanding and accepting those on the Spectrum is provided in a non-confronting,
non-aggressive way so as to glean positive interest and a willingness to listen
and observe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">Some people
are innocently unaware of the dynamics of the Autism Spectrum and may keenly
listen to information offered, and yet there are others who may feel that if a
subject has nothing to do with their lives, they are not interested. This may
be upsetting for some who are living with or associated with the Spectrum – but
realistically, as the old saying goes – “You can’t lead a horse to water”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not everyone will, unfortunately, want to
listen to the important ‘awareness’ messages, but many others will.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">One thing
which I feel is important, when advocating for and aiming to create awareness
of the Autism Spectrum to family, friends and the wider community, one must be vigilant
in being sensitive to autistic persons awareness that they are being spoken
about and support rallied on their behalf. We must ‘work’ <u>with </u>our autistic
friends and family members and always keep in mind the dignity, rights and
feelings of the person on the Spectrum. Sometimes exposing, for example, a
behaviour challenge of an autistic child/teen/adult to the public eye may end
up being a vision of humiliation for the autistic person. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">There are some
videos and exposés illustrating perceived typical behaviours (etc.) of a person
on the Autism Spectrum which are beautifully, respectfully and honourably presented
for others to learn about Autism from. But, there are also some ‘illustrations’
(through video etc.) which are not in the same category of dignity and respect,
which, when the autistic person realizes (becomes aware) of such
an ‘exposé’, this may be a source of humiliation and disdain. There can sometimes be
a very fine line between getting the ‘awareness’ message out there and
combining such with respecting the dignity of the person on the Spectrum.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">There are many
wonderful organizations, groups, individuals and persons on the Spectrum doing a
fine job in creating and increasing awareness of the Spectrum. I hope I am
perceived as being one of these persons who supports and advocates in such a positive
manner. After all, the Autism Spectrum is very dear to my heart and an indelible
part of my own family life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">Some, who may
not have reached a level of understanding, empathy and awareness which we may
hope for, may be ones who perhaps have not experienced a relationship with a
person on the Spectrum; whose own life experiences may not have availed them of
a willingness to be open to embracing the differences of their fellow ‘man’;
whose ‘belief system’ may not allow the inclusion of others who are different
to or oppose what they perceive as ‘normal’ or acceptable to them; or whose fear
of difference holds them back from breaking down such self-held barriers and
allowing themselves to be free to learn and be open to new ideas and information, and/or to experience reciprocal communication with another. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #558ed5; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #558ED5; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=60000 lumo=40000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text2; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;">For those who
do warmly and openly embrace difference (differing abilities) and welcome
learning about what others can show them, teach them and enrich their
understanding of the infinite and diverse skills abounding in this world all
peoples can offer, will be the ones who don’t need ‘convincing’ or impressions
made upon them of the uniqueness of another. Such persons may seek to learn
more and/or help others to be open to gaining such knowledge and understanding.
Some may become concerted advocates for those who deserve greater understanding
and support.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

I’d like to offer a ‘list’ below of some personal elements which need to be inherent
in one if they are to be truly able and willing to experience awareness,
acceptance and understanding of the Autism Spectrum and the wonderful persons
who live with such as a unique part of their lives. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #4ea1da; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Whilst
reflecting on some words a teen on the Spectrum mentioned to me some time ago,
I decided in a quiet moment to jot down this poem.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #4ea1da; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The teenager
was relating to me how she was striving to strengthen her individuality and
wanted ‘others’ to see that she was keen to take hold of being the ‘captain’ of
her ship as it sailed into the future. She felt she needed others (though some
well meaning) to take a step back and let her express her true self.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #4ea1da; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It also relates
to how some people were presuming to ‘know’ her by what they had read in books
about Autism/Aspergers.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #4ea1da; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The poem’s not
perfect, but it basically describes this young lady’s feelings about some of her
desires for her future.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #7ca5d6; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It has been a
while since I have posted on this blog, but hopefully those are interested in
my books and other writings/articles may be also interested in my current
pursuit of writing a new book regarding teenagers on the Spectrum.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #7ca5d6; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">This book will
encompass the relationships, emotions, anxieties, communication challenges, and
so many other things, which can be experienced by a teen on the Spectrum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The content of the book and its messages are
also very relevant to the parent/carer of a teen on the Spectrum, and will be
very much along the lines of a ‘team-effort’ in living life together and
navigating life’s challenges, as well as all the many positives.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #7ca5d6; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Once I have
waded through my notes (back to 2011), finally pieced together the many
chapters and published this book, I will post another note here regarding how
and where it can be purchased by those who are interested.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #7ca5d6; font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I have several
patient and professional persons in Australia
and internationally (one a U.S.
university professor, teachers, parents and some wonderful individuals (adults
on the Spectrum) waiting for me to get this project ‘on-the-road’. Due to
experiencing an energy-sapping physical health condition since the middle of
2011 and (and now getting my health gradually back to ‘normal’), I have had to,
up until now, put my attention to completing this book on ‘hold’. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am not practicing as a professional
counsellor currently (due to my recent health concern) and have chosen to
concentrate on writing for a while. I may resume practicing in 2013.</span></div>

internationally known, highly successful and respected writer/author, artist,
singer-song-writer and Autism expert (Donna is on the Spectrum herself),
endorsed me (via LinkedIn) for my professionalism, abilities and understanding
in the field of Autism/Youth. I am truly honoured to have Donna endorse my work
and experience in this field and am humbled by this recognition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I created and filmed this video with the intention of relating to music therapy, combined with a visual relaxation (and enjoyment) component. The idea, when viewing the video, is to imagine you may be looking through a kind of door/key hole into another dimension. This hopefully elicits a feeling of overall peace, tranquility and a momentary 'escape' from anxieties, stressors and so on. I also invisage that this video may assist in calming 'behaviour', even momentarily. This video was not designed with hypnosis in mind - not my area of expertise :) - just a relaxing auditory and visual experience. I have 'tested' its calming effect on a very small bunch of kids on the Spectrum (including mine) and they appear to instantly be mesmerized by the video/music - to their enjoyment. See what you think and let me know if you liked it (or not ;). The music score is by the very talented UK artist Ricknanman.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note: the video looks a tiny bit 'jerky' in spots. This is deliberate. It is supposed to represent 'yourself' looking through the door/keyhole, with natural body/eye movement and blinking in a couple of places.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
