Three years ago our oldest son, Tristan, was diagnosed autism at the age of three. Since I have been working on a Vermont system of care for individuals with ASD and advocating in Vermont and in Washington D.C. for more funding and support for families and individuals with ASD. Through my work I have seen the lack of supports for people with ASD and their families have, so I have created a business, Parenting Autism, to step in and help. Parenting Autism produces DVDs and workbooks to help parents parent on the spectrum. In addition to our exercises and tips in our workbooks and DVDs, Parenting Autism gives all profits back to the autism community.

Yesterday I wrote a blog entitled How Should We Present the Autism Spectrum to the Public? It's received some very thoughtful responses, and inspired me to present this challenge to interested readers:

Every magazine, website and radio program has a story about an underdone turkey, a mean-spirited relative or the traffic jam from hell. But even Thanksgiving can be relatively mellow if you're prepared - and if your child with autism and your family members know what to expect. The simplest tools for success include:

Thanksgiving on the autism spectrum is usually a pretty intense experience. From the travel to the family issues to the food concerns, Thanksgiving can wreak havoc with carefully crafted schedules. And coping with family is tough enough without adding autism to the equation.
By the same token, Thanksgiving can also be a time when even the most critical family member can back off a bit to reflect on the good things in life. They may even...
