Are we allowing individuals to develop their talents with our current teaching methods? Is there more or maybe less we should be doing?

Children with autism are colourful - they are often very beautiful and, like the rainbow, they stand out.

My aim is to sort the jumble of information we throw at these children and present it in such a way that they will have a greater chance of achieving independence and fulfilment.

Our visuals must represent the truth and decode the verbal jumble so these children can find the right direction.

Teachers should be made aware of visual stress symptoms and the potential difference coloured lights, overlays and lenses could make to a learners perception.

Adapting our own perception, following rather than leading and building bridges are all keys to helping the child with autism learn.

When teaching children with autism we must be quick to adapt, follow our instinct and go off plan.

The closer we come to understanding the challenges of autism, the better we are placed to accommodate and educate without risking removing that individuality we all love.

Mother often said that she could never be bothered to understand why Alice did the things she did, and now, more than ever, Alice thought never being bothered was a very lazy way to love someone.

He imagines a necessary joy in things that must fly to eat.

Cliche is Truth's most loyal friend...

He who begins many things finishes but few.

When we're in our true being, the purpose of life is to feel that every moment is the purpose.

I can't say I ever loved my mother; I admired her.

The message we have internalized is clear - we are what we do and what we own, not what we are inside ourselves. Where it counts!

Yes, I hate it when people call me a 'national treasure'. It takes away your bite and makes you feel like a harmless old golden Labrador.

If you do what you love, hold nothing back, and never let fear of failure get in your way, then you've pretty much figured out the Trump formula.
