Jackson’s ONLINE STORE is LIVE!

December 9, 2016 By Rene

Finally, after three years since Jackson’s first art show in a restaurant’s meeting room, we have launched Jackson’s EyeTV’s page on Society 6. Go visit his site and buy notecards, posters, framed prints, and other art products that have the great works of “Jackson’s EyeTV” on them. We also have an art show this weekend […]

On the path to being a working artist–Christmas Art Show

November 28, 2016 By Rene

A part of being a “big artist” and a working artist is to have art shows. To that end, Jackson was invited to show his work at a local salon and despite the amount of work this entails, we jumped at the chance to show off Jackson’s work. We are teaching Jackson about the skills […]

Why tests can’t measure intelligence with autism

October 31, 2016 By Rene

My son loves to write stories, books and songs. He spends the majority of his free time writing. In fact, we (me and my group of dedicated volunteers) have several books written by Jackson that we are working on publishing in 2017. One of these is a collection of poetry about sacred bodies of water. […]

Art Everywhere, Inspirations Abound

July 25, 2016 By Rene

Jackson will draw on any surface available, which is why I believe (and of course I’m biased) that he is a great artist. He IS art. As a toddler, while my husband and I tried to sleep, Jackson would draw on our pillow cases around our heads, he drew on the bed ruffle, he drew […]

Entrepreneurism and Autism

June 12, 2016 By Rene

All day long, every day, Jackson is “working” on projects in his office. (His father and I created what we thought he would use as an art studio, but he quickly dubbed it, “My office.”) Most days, he goes to school or camp, pays attention as best he can, and yet as soon as he’s […]

Art is in the eye of the beholder

April 7, 2016 By Rene

Jackson is a gifted artist. That we can all agree to. Well, unless you are an art teacher at a public school… As you know from reading the website, our son’s goal is to be “a big artist.” He has always viewed himself as an artist. He draws and paints and enjoys art classes very […]

What Jackson spends his time doing…

January 9, 2016 By Rene

It’s a Saturday morning in Jackson’s office (yes, he’s the only person with an office in this house), and he’s busy at work on his computer. Me: Whatcha doing? (I look around the office with books strewn around and the computer’s Google Translate open.) Are you translating all of Rumi’s poetry into Japanese? Jackson: Yep. […]

More interests…the Olympics

November 19, 2015 By Rene

Here is what Jackson would like to share with the readers of his blog: “I love my new website. It’s very cool. And I am also in love with the Olympic Games as well as linguistics.” Here is a picture that Jackson drew of his suggestions for the mascots for the Beijing 2022 Olympics (apparently […]

Congratulations Team Jackson!

September 21, 2015 By Rene

After almost two years…and Jackson’s EyeTV.com is going live on September 26. Jackson is very excited about this momentous achievement. We are having a party for him to launch the site and to thank all of the wonderful people that have helped us and to celebrate all things Jackson. Or as Jackson says, “We’re going […]

Reaching your goals

September 17, 2015 By Rene

One of the reasons for this website and even the launch party that we’re having, is to keep Jackson’s self stated goals front and center in his life as he ages. We want Jackson to feel that his goals have value and that when you have a goal that it can be accomplished with hard […]
