Leith has been to the ASA conference in Brisbane. This was a terrific experience with lots of friendly Aspies (150 of them! She gave one presentation with the only other Kiwi, Gabrielle Hogg, from Hastings, on "Aspies and the Social Media". Both gave two presentations on their own subjects, Gabrielle on her bio-medical journey through Autism, and Leith on "Workplace Rejection". The audiences were most supportive and it was a good way to "fledge our feathers" presenting beyond NZ shores.
Leith and Jan are presently working on a 3 hour seminar for teachers and other professionals on supporting students who have Asperger Syndrome. This will be offered intermittently through the year ahead. Jan has been working hard on the art of constructing an aspie-friendly resume which will carry really useful information for employers. Each resume is constructed through diligent hours of discussion and eliciting of information from the client and results in a very comprehensive document.
Aspiehelp is also now soliciting donations to help to bring Dennis Debbaudt to the AutismNZ Conference in September. Dennis specialises in training "first responders" like Police etc to respond appropriately to people on the Autism Spectrum and he will be a keynote speaker at the Conference. Donations may be made to our Aspire Trust account, 03 1599 0445958 00. Please make sure you tag the donation "Conference" and send us an email on our contact form so that we can acknowledge your generosity and send a receipt.
