The first Autism Light post of 2013 about Joel Manzer From Autisable!!

I am a huge fan of Autisable. I saw a nice article on Autisable and Joel Manzer on Newsle today.

Here is a highlight and summary that is quite nice.

Joel Manzer writes this about the mission and origins of Autisable.

When my son was diagnosed with autism, we searched online for an open source blogging community that we would show daily life with autism. By open source, I mean one where someone didn’t have to sign up to join to read information. I’ve been blogging on Xanga.com for many years, and one day I was in a discussion with the people at Xanga.com and through that was birthed Autisable.com. Our mission is rather basic, to promote discussion of autism. We don’t take a stance on a specific viewpoint or concept about it, but want to provide an environment where people can share their ideas and journey. Like our tag line says, “Real blogs from people tackling the puzzle of autism” (Source).

Super Bowl Sunday 2012, and an article from Autisable

Though I would have liked a west coast team like the 49’ers to be in the game, in the end it is what it is. I am rooting for the underdog, can relate being a person on the autism spectrum. Go Giants. My kids and I will eat snacks and watch the game. My more autistic son will probably watch a few minutes, get bored and play video games.

Here is a nice article that I found on the amazing autisable.com site–>

Time for one of my favorite days of the year…Superbowl Sunday! Obviously I am rooting for the Giants! On Friday I went to the Autism Speaks Awards Reception in Princeton, it was such a fun night! They honored the top teams, individual fundraisers and shared some new studies with us. I am honored and thrilled to be the 2012 Publicity Chair for Autism Speaks (Central NJ) and hope this year’s walk is the biggest yet! I will be blogging a lot about Autism Speaks, since I have been volunteering with them for a few years now, and I think they are wonderful. I wanted to talk about a few things that some of you have asked me to blog about! Feel free to send me ideas

An interesting article from Autisable–>What does the future hold for my autistic child?

When you mention that your child has Aspergers Syndrome, most that have some understanding of the syndrome, just think the characteristics are a lacking in social interaction skills, literal understanding, or an intense special interest. There is so much more to Aspergers then this! One of the main difficulties for Little man is learning independence skills, the most basic everyday things that a “typical” child masters in the early years of life, such as tying their own shoe laces, Little man is only just beginning to do at the age of 11 years.

Video: Autism from a child’s point of view–> A nice article from our friends at Autisable about Carly Fleischmann

I found this nice article and video on Autisable that is worth looking at and is quite nice.I am on the spectrum and have 3 kids on the spectrum as well, that is why it caught my eye.

http://www.autisable.com/758437387/video-autism-from-a-childs-point-of-view/

Some of you who know me, know a little about me. Most of you know, although I don’t talk much on here anymore, that I have a 3 year old son on the spectrum. As we work for a sound diagnosis, I often find myself weeding through books, blogs, articles, videos, and everything else I can possible get my hands on just so that I can understand my son’s quirks, behaviors, and his own frustrations he experiences every day.

The video is about Carly Fleischmann from a Canada and her amazing story

I came across a video that a friend of mine posted on face book about the world of Autism much from the Autistic child’s point of view. It was different than anything I have ever seen, and I was amazed with the clarity, the intelligence (no I don’t doubt an autistic child’s intelligence, I simply mean the fluency,) and the emotion (both from the child and family, and emotion that arose in myself.)

Please take a look. I promise you will enjoy. 🙂
