A View Of The Autism Spectrum
Educating and Sharing through Writing


The Big Idea:
*Idea*This contest is here to spread the word about the autism spectrum to increase awareness... of what life is really like, of the importance of early intervention, of whatever else someone might choose to write about.

*Idea*It is here to provide a cathartic outlet and a voice to those affected by the spectrum in some way: as a parent, an educator, a doctor, a family member, someone on the spectrum, and any other points of view.

*Idea*If you are interested in this contest, you might also be interested in joining "Affected By Autism, Asperger's, Etc... [E]

*Bullet*All entires should be based on your experiences (as a parent, someone on the spectrum, a teacher, an observer, a friend, etc.). Names, places, and events can be altered!

*Bullet*Each entry must focus on the autism spectrum in some way. It can be a written as an advice guide, a short story, poem, or any other format.
