Hello Everyone!!!!

My name is Paula Kane and I’m an intern at Pathfinders for Autism. I’m starting this blog to promote Autism Awareness Month and Pathfinders for Autism’s Beneath the Surface Campaign. The goal for this campaign is to show people that there’s more to Autism Spectrum Disorder than meets the eye and to highlight the positive, uplifting side.

I have an eighteen-year-old brother with Autism, which is why I am so passionate about it. Throughout the month, I’ll be sharing some of my own stories and experiences with you, as well as posting discussion questions and topics for you to comment on.

 

For those who don’t know much about Autism, it can be difficult to understand what it really is. Commercials, statistics, and society in general have a tendency to share information that is purely based on scientific or medical facts and neglect to include personal experiences and testimonies. That’s why I’m here…

I want to give people the opportunity to share stories highlighting the positive, funny experiences they’ve had by knowing someone with Autism, or by having Autism themselves.

Entries can be submitted directly on the page via the comment box, or feel free to email me directly at pkane1@students.towson.edu so I can post it for you anonymously.

The official launch date of the blog is April 1^st! Hope you all enjoy it!
