woman married to a neurotypical man for 30+ years and the
mother of five children in her ZOOM IN essay. We are also
excited to have Maripat and John Elder Robison on our COVER. While being married to one of the most famous “GEEKS”
around may make maintaining a harmonious co-existence a
bit more challenging, these two seem to know how to make
it work. Maripat sat down with us for an exclusive interview
that will have you laughing out loud while making you think
at the same time! (Yeah, she is that good!)
Of course, while we all hope that 2015 will be a year of
“peace,” the reality is that for many autistic individuals, especially our teens and young adults, it may be anything but. M.
Ketler is back again this issue with another incredible feature,
this time explaining why anger, adolescence and autism often
go hand in hand. Parents, you need to read this article!
We have another great Q&A question in this issue that deals
with how to find and sustain relationships, and the answers
our experts shared are extremely helpful! Once again, parents, this one is a must read!
Speaking of questions, in our Balance section, we ask YOU
a question: When you look in the mirror, what do you see?
Before you answer, make sure to watch the “I’m Enough”
video and read our interview with the Magic Mirror Project,
creators of the all-woman rock band, The Mrs. It will change
the way you view yourself!
There is so much to check out in this issue, so pour yourself
a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, tea, water (you get the idea),
and dig in! We think you are going to love what you find.
Happy New Year, Zoom readers, and Happy Year
of the Sheep!
Until next issue,
