Hey, All! George’s mom here (he is never on FB). I just received this email from YouTube, and I’m shaking with disbelief. They’ve removed his video. I’ve already appealed, but maybe there’s something else that can be done - I’m livid. There was a reason we never monetized it; we wanted to make sure viewers knew that we were profiting off of it in any way.
Thank you for being so supportive- I’m just speechless.

Hi! George’s mom here. Three years ago today, we showed G’s video to his fourth grade class. It was the first time anyone outside our family had seen it, and we had no idea so many people would go on to share it - it was and continues to be quite a helpful tool.

People are always asking about our connection, and how George is able to be so engaged and involved. It’s not magic, and everyone’s different, neurotypical or not, but I do give improv a lot of credit.
It’s important as parents that we learn to throw our expectations (and our agenda) aside and just be in the moment and LISTEN. Sounds easy, and it should be easy, but you’d be surprised at just how difficult that can be for some of us.

Along with my partner, Dr. Tara Regan (PhD and autism sibling) I’ve created Pilot to Copilot: Improv for Autism Parents. Right now, the website is pretty bare-bones, but the mailing list sign-up is there!
I hope you’ll click:

The Autism Summit is here! I’m so excited to be a part of this line-up of professionals and autistic perspectives who are sharing a wealth of knowledge and experiences for parents, educators, and professionals to learn more about autism. You’ll hear from 37 internationally-known speakers such as Dr. Ross Greene, Dr. Mona Delahooke, Dr. Temple Grandin, and me :)

The Autism Summit is FREE, but only THIS WEEK, so be sure to check the schedule on the website. If you’d like extended access for a year plus bonus resources, then the ALL ACCESS pass is for you.

Hey everyone, it’s Lisa (G’s mom). I’m watching this right now, and it deals with something we’re all having issues with in some way most likely. It’s free all weekend - I am camped out watching these speakers.
Updates soon - George started 7th grade this week, and we’re super busy, but well.
Stay safe! ❤️🤓

Hey, Everyone!

I hope you all are staying home and staying healthy during all of this. I know many of you are from Asia and Europe, as well as right here in the US, and Covid-19 is affecting us all, so my thoughts are with you!
Some good news is that THIS THURSDAY I’ll be making my TV debut on Disney Junior’s Fancy Nancy! I play Lionel’s cousin Sean, who has autism. I had so much fun recording it, (and I have no idea what Sean will look like!) and I hope you’ll watch and tell me what you think!

Please stay safe, everyone!
