Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 [Reno is my friend's son. Quite a remarkable young man.I am forwarding this email on his behalf. Ida] Reno is a published author and well known speaker on Autism - he is 12 years old and in 7th grade. Despite being born legally blind (now visually impaired) he also carries many diagnosis including Asperger's Syndrome. He became interested in researching Autism and Asperger's after realizing that he did some things a little differently than his peers. His mission is to reduce the stigma that others have about people with disabilities and reduce bullying. For the past two years Reno has been spreading Autism Awareness through his public speaking in schools and in the community through the use of power point presentations, brochures and bookmarks that he has created. He explains " how to be a good friend ...to kids with Autism " describing how kids with Autism may be a little different than some of their typical developing peers, but also showing how they are very much alike. http://www.renosworldautism.com/MEET-THE-AUTHOR.html Reno is currently accepting requests for speaking engagements and book signings and may be reached via renosworldautism@...
