About

I am a transplant to Minnesota and have lived here nearly two decades.  I have a wonderful husband, two children, both on the spectrum, three dogs and two pet hedgehogs.   I was diagnosed as being on the spectrum when I was 46.  Better late than never! When I am not immersing myself in autism, I enjoy long distance running, reading, training dogs, riding my unicycle and hanging out with my family.  I began my teaching career in 1997.  Currently, I am an autism advocate and consultant.
