About Autism Hangout SPECIAL REPORTS:

SPECIAL REPORTS are interesting stories in their own right. They may cover news, events, items or issues. Sometimes they're simply reflections.

They are prepared by Autism Hangout Staff Reporters as well as the newsmakers themselves (i.e. guest columnists, researchers, dignitaries/notables and interested Autism Hangout members).

All SPECIAL REPORTS have links to threads in the Discussion Forum (if you'd care to share your experience or insights with others).

"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure."

Norman Vincent Peale

I just noticed this wonderful animation on Vimeo. It's for NT's to help them appreciate just how overwhelming everyday, common sensory stimulation can be. This beautiful film was done by Miguel Jiron.

Meet the author and photographer of "Apart or A Part?" A book on inclusion.

Today’s guest is yet another Baby Boomer diagnosed later in life. At age 52, she learned the news. As the mom of kids also on the spectrum, she’d watched them encounter the same inclusion issues that challenged her. But as a successful artist, she was now capable of taking matters into her own hands... and making a difference.
