  "Children are the priority.  Change is the reality.  Collaboration is the strategy"

  Autism awareness month comes to a close but there are thousands and thousands of families that live with it 365 days a year.  It's nice that a month has been named for awareness....now we need ACTION.  All year.  It's becoming more and more common...and it is not going to go away.

  This airs on Monday, August 11, 2014 on local PBS affiliates.

  Neurotypical is an unprecedented exploration of autism from the point of view of autistic people themselves. Four-year-old Violet, teenaged Nicholas and adult Paula occupy different positions on the autism spectrum, but they are all at pivotal moments in their lives. How they and the people around them work out their perceptual and behavioral differences becomes a remarkable reflection of the "neurotypical" world — the world of the non-autistic — revealing inventive adaptations on each side and an emerging critique of both what it means to be normal and what it means to be human.

  HML-

  I don't know what that status update rant on August 11th was all about but I hope it doesn't have anything to do with this thread. I was just poking around my old posts and came upon this thread and then checked your profile and saw your status update on 8/11 and I couldn't believe the same woman that put her heart and soul into this thread is the same woman that wrote that update.

  I hope you're OK.

  By the way, check out this thread....might be something you'd like to help with.
