Ignorance and Judgement

This post is dedicated to all the beautiful families out there that have been touched by #Autism more than once. While my words won’t remove the sting of another person’s snap judgement, hopefully it will at least feel good to know that you aren’t alone "

Book Review: Rex – A mother, her autistic child, and the music that transformed their lives

You may wish to watch this “15 minutes” video first – that way I won’t ’spoil’ the book for you.

Did you watch it to the end? If you did take a deep breath and try not to rant about the bit about autistic people having no emotions. Pity Cathleen wasn’t able to edit that bit out, but I imagine that ‘personal control’ and the ‘media’ are contradictions in terms. More Here...
God vs. Science

Joni Earecksen Tada's devotional arrived this morning with this line embedded, "Gut-wrenching questions honor God." How true. And good, since 15 years into our journey, there are more questions than answers.

She continues, "Despair directed at God is a way of encountering him, opening ourselves up to the one and only Someone who can actually do something about our plight. And when, with our questions, we either collide with the Almighty or merely bump up against him, we can never be the same. We never are when we experience God." More Here...

Advertising on Autisable

Autisable has been around now for about 3 years.

The first year we were focused on how to best serve the Autism Community, and finding content to share.

The second year was all about networking - which we still do to this day. Thousands now blog on Autisable, sharing their journey with Autism and networking with one another.

This past year has been solidifying where we are at - adding another editor to help out with the site - and further establishing our community online.

We continue to do these things as our site grows, because we know that by serving the Autism Community - we are helping people worldwide.

We haven't focused on one thing, not because we didn't want to - but because it just wasn't the right timing.

However, now it's time to expand... More Here...

An Autism Treatment Mirage Arrives from the Desert

Just when we thought our children had been experimented upon enough, without concern for science, we are now introduced to a new autism elixir, this time from the desert: camel’s milk! More Here...
