AUTISMO MARBELLA
http://www.autismoaaar.blogspot.com/I’ve been busy setting up a blog for our local Autistic Association in Marbella. Incorporated is a Google translator facility for anyone who is not 100% sure with Spanish. For some reason I think this is going to be slow start as I need to explain to the other mothers how blogger works, for me it’s user friendly, however for those that are not computer orientated, then initially it will be daunting.
The aim of the blog is to share typical information that would not normally be included in our main association website. For example I spoke to one father the other week and he said “I want to know a good dentist but more importantly one that can handle our kids?” or “where can I find good gluten free bread?”. So we will be adding questions, answers, experiences along our journey. Plus any other information that parents wish to share, maybe tips on hair washing, or the dreaded teens and hormonal stage, how do you cope or could be an inspiring story etc.

Have we been overlooking a major direction?
· Thinking in Pictures
· Disorientation
· Struggling with traditional academic learning
· Self-Esteem fluctuating
Does the above sound a bell? These are some of the symptoms that effect people struggling with Dyslexia and yes, you’d be right in thinking that they are also symptoms that affect many Autistic learners.
Here’s some really exciting news that I’d like to share with you all and in turn if you could forward this knowledge on to your friends, that would be wonderful ..... Thank you.
Message From Richard Whitehead - Davis Learning Foundation Director
"How do you explain to others why dyslexia is a gift...
...and how do you explain to teachers how dyslexic thinkers learn best?"
"Why 'Tyrannosaurus' But Not 'If'?" is a new 15-part mentoring course, designed for anyone who is teaching a picture thinker.
The course is absolutely free of charge. Over 15 weeks, it delivers to teachers, tutors, lecturers and home educators incisive insights and strategies - insights and strategies which can be put to use straight away, empowering bright children who have struggled with traditional academic learning.
It would be truly wonderful if you would let any of your friends, contacts and colleagues know about the course who might be interested, or who might benefit from it.
