Summary of Autism – Past and Present

April 10, 2016 by kimkaplan Leave a Comment

I believe this article in a recent edition of The Advocate is an accurate and fair summary of the state of autism—past and present.

It gives a brief history of autism and then discusses the current state of autism worldwide. The last portion of it discusses, in depth, adults with autism and they’re succeeding (or not) in the workplace.

It’s accurate and concise and positive.

About kimkaplan

As Kim and her husband cared for their son with autism, Kim was led back into writing. She wrote about her son's journey with autism which includes her son's struggles, the parental learning curve, their good fortunes...and a myriad of missteps. The resulting book "A Parents' Guide to Early Autism Intervention" has helped many parents with young children on the autism spectrum. She followed that book with another autism-related book, "Two Years of Autism Blogs Featured on ModernMom.com."
Kim continues to be active in the autism world. She blogs weekly for Modernmom.com as well as her own website. Her screenplay writing has blossomed with the addition of many autistic characters. She was featured on Shannon Penrod's show, "Autism Live." She volunteers and attends conferences as well as helps parents whenever she can.
