Gavin Bollard's blog pages

[Guest guest]

I've posted one of Gavin Bollard's blogs recently, but the whole blog archive

site is well worth reading. His archived posts on relationships is especially

helpful for both AS and NS (non spectrum) spouses. I really like what he has to

say and how he says it.

Scroll down to see his previous posts - all are excellent.

I also liked his Aug 16. entry on his home page and agree whole heartedly with

his closing statement:

" We need to make supporting families on the autism spectrum an easy and

rewarding thing to do - and it's not something that we can do by continuing to

fight amongst ourselves. We need to be showing a united front. For that reason,

I'm suggesting that we " make peace with Autism Speaks " . I don't think that we

should ever give up trying to get our message across but there are better ways

to communicate and sometimes gentle persuasion is far more effective than brute

force. "
