Based on her families experience with her son Charlie and the way the medical culture and schools systems recommended she learned that at least for Charlie the approaches were ineffective at best. One of the statements she made that really struck me was that she and her husband came ...

One of those who has been a leader from early in the movement is Ed Thompson, founder of Uptimize. Uptimize ha...
