As we kick off our Autism Acceptance & Awareness Series , I am excited to welcome Jacqualine Folks, mother, author and autism community leader🧩   🧩 In 2003 Jacqui’s middle son, Ethan, was diagnosed with Autism. His diagnosis came at a time when resources for Autism were scarce, so Jacqui found herself on a journey of self-education to enrich the life of her child. Learning all she could about Autism education, therapies, and advocacy🧩   🧩 In 2005 Jacqui started a support group for parents in her local community. Several years later, the ladies she met through that journey joined forces and co-founded the Eudora ACES (Autism Community Education and Support). ACES is a successful non-profit organization dedicated to helping other families with their journey through Autism and supplying necessary equipment and resources for special education classes in their school district.   🧩 Then in 2019 Mascot Books announces the release of Adventures With Big E: Help With Hygiene- Jacqui’s first children’s book.   🧩 Listen in as Jacqui shares their family’s incredible journey with Autism, her road to becoming an Author and much more 💙   Resources: Adventures With Big E Mascot Books
