Putting together a magazine each month
is no easy feat and full credit goes to my
wonderful editor, Shan.
Month after month Shan comes up with
new and inspiring stories from the
spectrum to entertain our readers. This
month is no different. We have been
collecting quite a few interesting articles
over the past couple of months that focus
on some rather amazing artists that we
are sharing with you in Edition 7.
We have also wanted to make the
publication look more like a magazine
and less like an eBook and so we are
moving to a two column style for the iPad
edition. The other version will remain
single for easier reading on a smaller
device.
You’ll be noticing some other style
changes over the next couple of months
that I think you will appreciate.
After a landmark autism awareness
month for us at home where the
whole family actually got involved in a
fun day to involve the general public
and educate them about autism, I’m
feeling genuinely optimistic about the
future and progression of education
and care for those with autism.
We’re both thrilled to bring you an
edition filled with art, and the
spectacular artists on the spectrum
who have a rare and unique gift for
portraying life through their eyes.
I remember learning a huge lesson
when I was younger in understanding
that we all have different perceptions
of life. We are all on the spectrum
somewhere, and we should be as
respectful and mindful of other
people’s opinions as they are of ours.
Our autism community is a strong
one, and many voices are certain to
enlighten those who do not embrace
change!
