18.01.2022 Autism STAR is about to undergo a change within the next month or three that will enable more people to receive the support that I can provide and also further my goal of creating and funding an Autism STAR Academy. The finishing touches are being applied to the new Autism STAR membership site which will include excerpts of the Understanding Autism workshop, guidance on the path to and within employment and much more. The content will be mostly video streaming with some audio... and written content. Contributions and suggestions for content will be most welcome. Some content will be free to access while other material will be accessible through an annual subscription. The site will start off raw as I start from scratch in my experience as a video editor and will evolve and adapt to the needs of the members over time. I trust that the autistic and autism communities will embrace this new initiative and help me to expand Autism STAR to be what I have always intended it to be, something that we can all be a part of. Thanks as always for your support to date. More information will follow within the next few weeks.
