Before and After the Letters
May, 2011
I wrote this in May 2011 after I received the Humanitarian Civic Award for the City of Medicine Hat. I believe the main reason was because of the letters to the editor I write every month at least which has raised my public profile. Although I have been in non-profit groups for 20 years. If you wish to read this article email me and I will send it to you.Hope and Poverty
November, 2010
I wrote this after I took over the chair of the Poverty & Crisis Committee for the Crisis Assistance Network. It is about my story of the struggle to lift myself and my family to level of living that most people don't reach when they are on disability. If you wish to read this article email me and I will send it to you.
Presentations
I can do any presentation you would like about Autism that you are interested in but I prefer to do a positive one. The ones that I have figured out are the following:

This presentation is about communicating with autistics and how our brain functions differently. How we socialize differently, etc. How we need to be approached differently because of this.
