Buildings for Autism Talk
This one-hour introductory talk is for architects, builders, and building and business managers who are interested in creating indoor environments which best support individuals with autistic spectrum conditions and other immune challenges. A second hour is reserved for questions, and a cheat-sheet will be provided. The increasing impairment of right-brained individuals is costing us all in lost creativity, from those who tend to be the most highly creative members of society. This talk will give you the information to make the necessary changes in your area of expertise. The fee is an agreed-upon honorarium, plus a mileage fee of $0.35 per kilometer.

Reversing Autistic Spectrum Conditions Talk
This one-hour introductory talk is for parents, community members, educators, and health practitioners who are interested in ameliorating or eliminating autistic spectrum symptoms. A second hour is reserved for questions, and a cheat-sheet will be provided. Drawing on current research and the experience of adults in the autistic spectrum who have emerged from the fog, this talk will give you starting points for making the changes which will help all autistics reach their genetic potential. The fee is an agreed-upon honorarium, plus a mileage fee of $0.35 per kilometer.

Reducing Autistic Symptoms Series
This is a series of monthly, one-hour talks for a closed group of up to 15 people, which highlights the cumulative impacts of various factors in causing autistic symptoms. Each evening will address a different topic, including: Introduction to Autistic Symptom Reduction, Making Changes, The Role of Food, The Role of Water, The Role of Air, The Role of Community, and Getting Good Help. There is a second hour available for questions and discussion. This series is only given for small groups. A team approach helps the participants retain and use what they've gained, and support each other in making changes. I wish to support this team-building, and to keep groups small enough for individual attention and effective communication. The fee is an agreed-upon honorarium, plus a mileage fee of $0.35 per kilometer.

N.B. Because I myself am in the autistic spectrum, there are days when it’s better that I’m not out in the world, and times when I need to limit my contact with people. This is a necessary – and responsible – way of managing the challenges. While I can usually pace myself such that I can meet all my commitments, there may be times when I need to call and reschedule consultations, check-ins, therapeutic work, and workshops. All talks will be given as arranged.
