Julie Cross is used to being in the limelight, talking candidly about her life, encouraging others to let go of their fears and shine brightly, and we have all come to love her for that. It was wonderful to listen to her read her own story from Parenting A Child On The Spectrum for the audience at the book launch and so many people who were present related to her experiences. Happily we were able to capture that moment in time so that others could benefit from it too. If you would like a copy of Parenting A Child On The Spectrum click on the book below:

Last Saturday MJL Publications hosted the formal launch of Parenting A Child On The Spectrum and what a magnificent event it was, with people coming from far and wide to connect with the authors and their stories. I opened the event to a full house at Redcliffe Library and told the story of how the book came to be.  Thank God I booked both meeting rooms because there were even a couple of people standing outside. Julie Cross, who wrote the foreword for the book, then followed with her own extraordinary story of parenting a child on the Autism spectrum which managed to hold everyone completely captivated, and took them through a range of emotions from pure joy and laughter, to sadness, recognition, bewilderment and then back to joy.  It was quite a journey and gave the audience a taste of what to expect from the book. The recipient of the fundraising efforts on the day was The Sycamore School –…

When we launched Parenting A Child On The Spectrum on the 2nd April and gathered to watch the Victoria Bridge Light Up Blue for Autism we were very fortunate to be joined by the delightful Dr Renae Beaumont. Dr Beaumont has become very well-known for her program called Secret Agent Society and I am so excited to share it with you here today.  It looks so exciting and inviting and I wish I was a kid again so that I could join myself. Check out this video showing how the program works: On April 30th I will share with you my interview with Dr Beaumont for A League Of Their Own which I know you will love and if you have a child on the spectrum you will gain some valuable insight from.

MJL Author Cindy Corrie is doing amazing things in Redlands where she has been working hard to open The Sycamore School – Autism Friendly Learning. Cindy was looking at schooling for her own son when she found herself in the office of Independent Schools and they suggested she start her own school, thinking they would never hear from her again. Little did they know they were talking to a dynamo with the education and determination to be able to do exactly what they suggested. “Our current status with opening the school is that we are currently in negotiations with DET around the lease, enabling ASD Learning to continue the accreditation and planning processes necessary for the school to open in 2017,’’ she said. “We are absolutely grateful for the support of Minister D’Ath who has been a wonderful supporter of this service in the Redlands.” You can read more at the Redland…
