Heart and Soul of Autism - 2017

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.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2017.

In the meantime;

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.

If you follow the link below, you can read a synopsis, reviews, editors, 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.

Birth of a Galaxy - Deep Space - seen from the "Alpha Starship"

Hi folks.
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 ;)
I haven't been posting here much, though I hope that in 2014 this will change.
For now and I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas season.

Autism, Stresses and Anxieties - book

I am currently piecing together a new book surrounding the 'topic' of stresses and anxiety and how such can affect an individual (child/teen/adult) on the Spectrum and their respective family members and friends.

I am hoping to have this book finished within the next few weeks, and be available as a download or Ebook (and hard copy) on the Lulu.com website very soon. 

I have also received some wonderful interest in this upcoming book from some of my professional peers in the United States and elsewhere, who will be adding a link to their websites for the book.

My hope is that this book will not only be useful for families and individuals on the Spectrum, but also professionals and others interested in gaining an insight into the realities of 'life' as it can be for families/individuals especially, so that they will increase their understanding of the clients (ASD and parents) they may have visit upon their practices and intervention/assistance methods. Understanding the heart and soul of their clients can be invaluable in helping clients move through, on and above any difficulties and/or challenges they may face each day.
