Working Artist Goals: Jackson signed to professional representation

February 21, 2019 By Rene

When a person with a disability begins to “age out” of school, this can be a very stressful time for everyone.

End of the Year Thoughts

May 31, 2018 By Rene

Well, friends, it’s the end of another school year. At this time of year, I always take stock of how far we’ve come and how much we still have to accomplish, Jackson and me, on his march to independence. We have three years left to achieve this before we are done with public school. All […]

September 13, 2017 By Rene

This Monday, our son Jackson, an amazing artist who also has autism, and who adores Ellen DeGeneres and her show is getting the chance of a lifetime–to be in the studio audience for The Ellen Show!

Transitioning into Adulthood with Autism

April 30, 2017 By Rene

Jackson has now reached the age where our state has “transition services” as a part of his IEP planning. So, that means that we are busy, in Jackson’s world trying to get him ready to perform some kind of skill for money…you know, go to work! So, we set up this website where we sell […]

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 […]
