Teen Autism | Tanya Savko
When Tanya’s autistic son, Nigel, turned 13 in 2007, she desperately searched the Internet for information about teens with autism – and found very little. “Somehow we survived,” she writes, but Nigel struggled during those years: at one point he was bullied so severely that Tanya pulled him out of school and homeschooled him for a year and a half. She started her blog to offer community, insight, and encouragement to other parents of teens and tweens with ASDs, and she’s more than fulfilled that mission. Teen Autism includes everything you ever wanted to know about social and sensory issues, academic concerns, bullying, therapy, and language development, along with book reviews and tips from the trenches, all delivered with Tanya’s refreshing wit and candor.

Loving the adventurous spirit!! Thanks for sharing
Nowadays, in France, 650.000 individuals are affected by autism, and it goes up to 2 millions if you include their close family members
Condemned by the European Council in 2004, France is still very late in the area of research and adapted care for autism.
With the promotional films called Les Electeurs (The Voters), VAINCRE LAUTISME calls on the French government, the politicians and the public. Autistic people have been left for a long time on the fringe of society. They still suffer from legislative, political, administrative and social discriminations.
VAINCRE LAUTISME asks for a parliamentary commission to study autism in France, as well as an economic study on the cost of autism in France, and a specific legislation, adapted to the peculiarities of the autistic persons needs. VAINCRE LAUTISME also stands up for the creation of the Autism General States, a moratorium against Packing and a ruling against unsuitable cares.
In 2012, every French autistic individual and his/her family will take into account the politicians commitment before voting.
