Gave a guest lecture today about sibling perspectives on autism. It was for a group of master’s students studying to be special educators at @UiTNorgesarktis. Teachers are often the last line of support for teens with autism as they make the challenging transition to adulthood.
And we're back. Touched down in Tromsø, Norway, a small university city surrounded by mountains, just over 200 miles north of the arctic circle. For the next year, it's home. I'll be working on a project about improving quality of life for adults with autism. Stay tuned.
Always a great time at Miracle League!

After Tuesday's primary results, we now know Republican Weston Wamp and democrat Matt Adams will go head-to-head to determine the next Hamilton County Mayor. Today we saw public education is a top priority for both young candidates. newschannel9.com/news/local/wam…
After last night’s election madness, it can be easy to forget another one is just 3 months away. Tonight at 5 and 6 we’ll hear from Republican Weston Wamp and Democrat Matt Adams, who will be going head to head to be your next Hamilton County mayor.
