My son has autism, and I am on a mission of awareness.

My son is different. He will always be different. I love the way he thinks. I do not want him to be anyone other than who he is.

I strive to give him the tools to navigate in a non-autistic world. I wish to alleviate the intense stress, frustration and confusion that he copes with to function on a daily basis. While I am helping him to learn about our world, I am teaching others to learn about his.

My son has autism. That makes him different. What makes you different?

Books
Originally written to teach Caspian's elementary school-aged classmates about his differences, What Autism Means to Me has grown to become a powerful teaching tool for all age groups. Caspian's book is required reading at MSU in Billings, MT!

Presentations
Request a topic or choose from the following:

Autism as a difference talks to elementary school-aged children about differences: how not to stereotype or prejudge differences but rather to accommodate them. Autism is introduced as a difference and explained with the help of Caspian's book, What Autism Means to Me.

Should I have my child tested? is geared towards parent groups of young children. Developmental milestones, the evaluation process, and autism are discussed.

Step into my world is a presentation for adults who are involved in the education and/or care of people on the autism spectrum. An environment is created to give the participant some sense of how it feels to function with autism.
