The Owner- Michal Maoz
Hi, my name is Michal and I'm the owner and chief
designer of Aurtistic-Spectrum.
I am a 35yo mom of two wonderful boys, who are on the Autistic
Spectrum and I am also diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome myself.
Since I grew up with no help or treatments for my difficulties and
disabilities, I have decided as an adult to help as much as I can
the kids and adults of the Autistic-Spectrum community to become
independent and successful and be able to work and support
themselves.
I am working to
help the Autistic Spectrum community in a few facets
Through the Internet:
- I participate in forums and communities online
and I help people and other parents to Autistic children to
understand their kids better.
- I opened a group on Cafemom online for moms of kids on the
Spectrum- a place where they can ask questions and get answers that will
shed light on how their kids think and see the world. You can
check it at:
www.Cafemom.com/group/asktheaspie
- I also talk to adult Aspies (people with
Asperger's Syndrome) and share my life experience with them in
order to try to help as much as I can.
- I am working towards spreading awareness of
Autism spectrum disorders through my community page and my blog on
Myspace.
Through the company:
- I will sell jewelry that is created by me
and by other people who are on the Autistic Spectrum and by that-
give them a sense of accomplishment and hope for their future.
- I will become a public-speaker in the Autistic Spectrum
Disorders community. I will tell my story and will help spread
awareness and hope for independence.
Through my Art:
- I have plans to publish a book of my
poems about Asperger's Syndrome and plans of showing my paintings
locally at first and then maybe nationally as well- all of which
deal with the inner world of an Aspie.
I do hope that you and others will help me help
other people on the Autistic Spectrum, by buying our products, by
participating in my community page and group, reading my blog and
raising awareness to Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Thank you,
Michal Maoz
