Janet is a true ambassador of the positive attributes of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), at the same time she's well aware of the potential negative impacts, including stress for the person with Autism, as well as their friends, family, colleagues and peer group."I have seen so many difficult situations arise - initially because of ASD, but they have been compounded terribly because of a lack of understanding of ASD and a lack of understanding about how strong a stress-reaction can be.

"I want to help people with Autism to find and use their unique gifts in a positive and fullfilling way, and to help their families in their understanding and support of their loved one.

"There are many tricks and techniques to transform our ASD stress into stress-reduction, and right here is where I aim to start sharing".
