More Workshops Coming Up
I received another flyer for an Autism / Asperger’s Syndrome Workshop, this time with Sue Larkey (an Autism Spectrum Specialist). She runs workshops for teachers, families, service providers and therapists, and her next workshop is in a couple of weeks.
The school where Jack is enrolled next year has recommended her workshops, and told us that she is well worth going to see and hear. So I am about to register and hopefully take Jack’s current Kindergarten teacher with me (she is really keen to go as well - she has been a wonderful support to us throughout the year, and I think the year with Jack has really opened her eyes to ‘the life of a child with autism’).
Sometimes I wonder if I cause myself information overload, but I really enjoy attending workshops and information sessions on Autism. I tend to think that there is always more to learn about Autism Spectrum Disorders, and even if I only take away one thing from each session (or if it is simply a refresher of what I already know), then it is worthwhile. And of course there is also the benefit of hearing about other people’s experiences - there is so much to learn from these as well.
So stay tuned to hear all about it - I’m really looking forward to it!

Thta is great you attend all of the conferences you can. I have been to a lot on advocating in the schools and loved them. I learned so much. Like Casdok, I like to read books on autism and chromosome disorders and the list goes on. Sometimes though I gotta go to a play or a movie just to get my mind on something else.
