parent to an autistic individual , an educator or an autistic adult , we encourage you to read this piece and explore the resources included .
Our cover story this issue is an incredible piece by the very talented Kirsten Lindsmith , who talks about being autistic in a world that was certainly not designed with autistics in mind . Her article The Culture Shock of Autism is eye opening , and the drawings she allowed us to include are magnificent . It is a MUST READ for sure .
There is so much packed into the pages of this magazine that we know you will want to save this issue as a pdf and perhaps even print it out to keep . It ’ s that good and that full of resources .
Lastly , we could not have done this issue without the autistic individuals who candidly contributed their personal life experiences with us . We are sincerely grateful that they have allowed us to share their insights with you , our readers . We think you will be happy they did , too .
From the safety of our driveway , in a parked car , Jacob practices sitting in the driver ’ s seat .
Until Next Time ,
