We share the stories or those who have Autism but do we hear from the parents of Autistic children and the struggle they go through, not really, so today we are speaking to two mothers of Autistic children who because of their loving sacrifice and dedication have two very functioning children today.

Daphne Chan’s current project “Transparency: The Gender Identity Project” is, “a powerful statement in visibility and diversity.” The project centers on visually depicting individuals who challenge socially prescribed constructions of gender identity and gender expression. Still in its infancy, the work has received widespread attention. The project was listed on Buzzfeed’s “Transgender Art & Culture In 2014” list and Chan successfully completed an Indiegogo campaign for the project. The funds raised will enable Chan to travel to New York for a three-month residency to complete the project. NMP had an opportunity to talk to Chan about the project..

Doug “Ten” Rose may be the biggest smartass as well as the wisest and most entertaining survivor of the hitchhiking adventurers that used to cover America’s highways. He is the author of Fearless Puppy on American Road and Reincarnation Through Common Sense, has survived heroin addiction and death, and is a graduate of over a hundred thousand miles of travel without ever driving a car, owning a phone, or having a bank account. Ten Rose and his work are a vibrant part of the present and future as well as an essential remnant of a vanishing breed.

As the author of the Mobility Series, Bovaird uses personal experiences, faith and practical tips in her presentation “Thriving With Vision and Hearing Loss” One of the important tools for coping with adversity is attitude and Bovaird uses plenty of humorous anecdotes to illustrate her points. Bovaird doesn’t just speak. She involves the participants so that it’s a two-way sharing. A few of the topics she will address: • Diagnosis—from denial to acceptance • Faith, optimism and a positive attitude • Humorous anecdotes of coping • Practical tips for maximizing remaining vision Whether you’re vision-impaired or hard of hearing or you’re interested in learning more about vision and hearing loss, Bovaird’s presentations will give you the insights and the tools to move forward and reach out to others.

At age 28, she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and declared legally blind. RP is a hereditary, degenerative eye disease that results in blindness or near blindness. There is no cure to date. Today Amy has no peripheral vision. She jokes that she is at the end of the “tunnel” vision in her eyesight. She suffers from a dual disability: progressive vision and hearing loss, which may be due to Usher Syndrome, the leading cause of deaf blindness in the world.

Everyone wants to be loved. The problem is most people don’t know how they want to be loved. They want the experience of love, but not too much, not too much sex, not too much pain, not too much drama. How can we get there, especially after a heartbreak or divorce?

Men want love just as much as women, but they don’t know how to love us, women. We are a fickle bunch. One day we want a hug, the next day we don’t want our men to touch us. One day we want to talk about our problems, but we don’t want our men to solve them for us.

We all want to be loved and to love another, but loving someone else to find love of self is not the key. We must be loyal to love its-self and to love of self when we find that love within we must nurture and care for it in order for it to grow. Love of living animals and people all starts with loving and being true to the love of yourself.

NOW is the time to connect with life, real life, living life, feel and participate in life, eye to eye, words to spoken words, face to face, heart to heart, or become the robot you fear disconnected to all blood, feelings, touch, and love.

There is no one alive that has not had obstacles to climb, challenges to face, a  discovery of Self, but that is what our life’s journey is all about, riding the waves in the ocean of life.

These are our lessons, life is our tutor, the experience is our badge of honor, for that life experience is wisdom that can only be learned through living a full life and looking to our future.
