Thrive With Autism

Description

“Jackie is a passionate, gentle, sensitive, empathic and down to earth guide in helping people learn to thrive with autism. The summer she turned 11, Jackie learned she didn’t have to be in physical pain, emotional turmoil, and mental fog most of the time. Since then, she’s spent a lifetime collecting tools and strategies to help herself, and others, cope and stay healthy in an out-of-balance and over-stimulating world.”
“Like many with autism, much of her life has been spent weaving together need for a time-intensive self-care regimen, capacity to recognize and draw out patterns from chaotic information, and horrendous (and sometimes embarrassing) difficulties in logistics and being consistent.” “Despite the challenges, better functioning continues to emerge from research data and her own process of gradual trial and error. As luck would have it, she chose an addiction to reading, instead of other things that would most probably have impaired her capacity a lot more than reading does!”
