Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 sondra, an online program happens when speakers post their presentations for a group to discuss online. when i did this in melbourne, only autistic people could join the discussion. we did that because many AC cannot go to conferences for sensory reasons, but they want information and the chance to ask questions and share information too. i would only act in an advisory capacity because i cannot go to chicago. lol its a bit far from tasmania. we are not sure if we will be able to get it running for this conference. very likely for the next one though.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2002 Report Share Posted December 29, 2002 I to understand sensory issues all to well but with much training and support persons I can be to do this. I to love going to conferences as I to like to absorb the information's shared, I to love architechuture so love to see the buildings in which the conferences are held. I to love traveling but as any with autism can only enjoy if briefly when all hits me as sudden overload and I begin to shut down. I to know when I to need to be to have dark, quiet and calm for me. I to think being married has helped much in this areas of life and being mom to 4 who to constantly evade my space has taught me tolerance to be to expand my ability to tolerate things of this. Yet lack safety factors and timing so this support person helps me to stay safe and on schedule to things and makes sure I to eat LOL I to get often too easily side tracked and will forget to take time to eat LOL Sondra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
