It was shortly after my two sons were diagnosed back in 2008. (I was diagnosed later.) I started blogging shortly thereafter and in 2011 my husband and I co-founded Autism Empowerment in Vancouver, WA. We're a 501(c)3 grassroots organization of positivity for the Autism and Asperger community.<br /><br />One of our programs is Autism and Scouting which is how we first heard of you. We read the article you wrote about Elias for Autism Asperger's Digest. My husband wrote to the magazine and we were given permission to repost on the Autism Empowerment website which we did earlier this evening.<br /><br />Since you are also in WA, I thought I'd learn a little about you so I found your blog and was excited to see you are a freelance writer too. I love to write. You'll find that many Aspie women are quite prolific! Here is a link to our Resource Center for women on the autism spectrum at Autism Empowerment:<br /><br />http://www.autismempowerment.org/support/individuals-autism-spectrum/resources-for-females-on-the-autism-spectrum/<br /><br />I was wondering if you might be interested in guest blogging for the Autism Empowerment website about topics of interest to you, your family and the autism community? <br /><br />Also, our organization is publishing an Autism and Scouting Leadership Training Kit and has an Autism and Scouting facebook page in case you know someone in scouting leadership who would like to get a free kit for your son's unit. (Check the Autism and Scouting Page at our website. We also have two radio podcasts, Autism Empowerment Radio and Autism and Scouting Radio.)<br /><br />Just let us know! No pressure. :-) I liked your work and felt a connection and wanted to give you a chance to share of yourself with others too!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Karen<br />http://www.autismempowerment.org <br />karen@autismempowerment.org<br /><br />(My personal blog which I have not updated in awhile is www.aspierations.blogspot.com )Karenhttp://www.aspierations.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
