Why We Are Here

We became the leading publisher in the world of autism/asperger's primarily because my son, Alex, was diagnosed with autism.  This event led me to write a charming little book, "Laughing and Loving with Autism", as I tried to show the world some of the positives and joys that a child with autism can bring.  Soon other authors were bringing their books to us in numbers so large, that in a short time we stopped publishing in all other venues and focused in this field.  For the first time in my life I was blessed, in that my vocation and passion were blended.  Alex's perspectives redefined my view of life.

Here is an excerpt from my second book, "More Laughing and Loving with Autism",  that shows how sometimes people with autism can be a little TOO honest:


 I've always been a pet lover and I was a little sad that Alex took very little interst in any of the family pets. However, one day I thought that there was a sudden awakening of normal interest.

I was tossing the rubber ball from the living room out into the hallway (this is something bachelors can do with impunity) so our very energetic dog, Spencer, could retrieve it, a game he loves. After about 5 or 6 tosses, I noticed a real interest in Alex's face as he followed every movement. To my further surprise, he asked if he could do it. I was delighted and Alex proceeded to throw with some vigor, whizzing the ball past Spencer out into the hallway.

However, after three or four throws, I saw that he was bothered and giving a sigh of disgust after each throw. Naturally, I asked Alex what was wrong. He was throwing the ball, with Spencer happily bringing it back so he could chase it again. What could be wrong?

"What's the problem, Alex?"
"Dad, I'm missing...because Spencer keeps moving his head!."

There was poor Spencer, thinking it was a great game, never realizing that, in Alex's mind, he was a target.

Our children, students, and friends with autism and Asperger's bring new meanings to our lives.  I hope our books, videos and conferences assist you in bringing a better future to your horizon.

Until I see you at one of our conferences, have a great day and...

Keep Smiling!
