A. Syndrome by Stuart Quinn

Here is a lovely video by Stuart, which beautifully describes some of the experiences of a person living with Aspergers.

Rosie King on Youtube

Rosie 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.

"An Autism Connection" - book

Just a note for those of you who may be interested in purchasing my book - "An Autism Connection - sharing the Journey with other parents", you can download a copy for (US) $10 from the Lulu Publishing site.

Gaining a copy of this book this way can definitely save you having to wait for it to arrive by mail and save your $ as well.

If you go to my Lulu store front, you will see some reviews by other interested persons and, soon I hope to have other wonderful reviews posted by parents who have read this book.

If you do purchase this book, I would be very interested in your feedback on it. You can email me on realistartinoz@yahoo.com.au

Currently, apart from setting up my private practice in Professional counselling (for parents and carers of children on the autism spectrum), I have begun writing another book which surrounds the topics of self esteem, empowerment of ones self and building resistance/coping mechanisms in regards to adverse elements of life. I particularly have in mind those persons on the spectrum and other individuals experiencing other differing abilities. But it could be of interest to anyone really who is experiencing some self esteem/confidence, social or other challenges in their life.

It's definitely a work-in-progress at the moment which I hope to finalize in a few months time.

The cover of this book will display one of Donna Williams beautiful paintings. Donna is a tremendously interesting and gifted lady, from Australia, who is on the autism spectrum. If you want to see examples of Donna's many talents, please click on the link to her site in the links field, right.
