Hi, My son, Randy, was in an accident as an adult that changed his abilities. Since our lives changed that day, I’ve spent a lot of time working with other families who have a special needs family member, including children and adults who have autism. I’m not proud to say that before I started volunteering, I hadn’t spent much time with people of any age who have ASD, so it’s truly been moving to make connections with these families. Our experiences aren’t exactly the same, but in a lot of ways, we have much in common. I thought it might be a good idea to add some supportive ASD-related information to my own site, and I noticed that you have a lot of great resources for those with autism (and their families) already. I don’t know if you’re looking for more of this kind of information, but if you are, this list might be worth adding to your site. 5 Pieces of Advice on Getting a Job with Aspergers or Autism <https://www.psychbytes.com/getting-a-job-with-aspergers-or-autism/> How to Travel Stress-Free When Your Child Has Autism <https://harkla.co/blogs/special-needs/travel-autism> How to Create the Ultimate Playroom for a Child with Autism <https://www.homeadvisor.com/r/how-to-create-the-ultimate-playroom-for-a-child-with-autism/> How to Choose a Summer Camp for Your Child with Autism <http://blog.stageslearning.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-summer-camp-for-your-child-with-autism> Helping Your Child with Socialization <https://childdevelopmentinfo.com/ages-stages/school-age-children-development-parenting-tips/socialization/> Supporting Students with Autism: 10 Ideas for Inclusive Classrooms <http://www.readingrockets.org/article/supporting-students-autism-10-ideas-inclusive-classrooms> Enhancing Well-Being and Happiness for People with ASD Through Fine Arts <https://autismawarenesscentre.com/enhancing-well-being-and-happiness-for-people-with-asd-through-fine-arts/> I think it’s great what you’re doing, supporting all individuals and families to simply enjoy life and one another’s company.
