Autism Tutoring
I'm a tutor for loads of other subjects - standardized tests, organization, reading, math, and more! You name it, I've tutored it...all except the one subject I'd truly like to teach people about. Autism!
After diagnosis, even many years after, many parents and adults on the spectrum really don't understand autism well. They may have questions unanswered, or see behaviors they don't understand, or any number of other things. The solution, to me, is clear - a tutor just to help you understand autism would be extremely useful.
So Caley and I will be teaming up to help you understand autism better, whether in-person, via Skype, or via email. We can answer questions, refer you to resources, give you a crash course, concentrate on areas you don't understand - it's all up to you.
Caley and I aren't in the business of taking people's money if they don't have it, so this will be on a donation basis. If you have money to give, we'd love to accept it. If you don't, we won't, and you'll still get an hour of our time. End story.
Our friend Trish, from Autistikids, is going to be joining in on this endeavor, too! So between us we can physically cover our home towns in Florida and Texas, and, of course, Skype with anyone else.
The important thing we'll emphasize while tutoring you about autism is what autistic people themselves have to say about it. Not just Caley, but autistic people as a whole. Trish, Caley, and I are all really hooked into their words (Caley especially, as they're also her words) and we would absolutely love to connect you to them, too.
What's more, Caley and I are coming out with a book version of the website, because we understand that it can be rather overwhelming trying to navigate a website as big as this. The book is broken up into tiny chunks of information, most only a page long and is an autism crash course all on its own. If you contract our tutoring services (and pay, otherwise we'd be losing money), we'll throw in a copy of the book for you to use or to pass out to some of your less tech-y relatives.
