About me - current project:
I am in the R&D stage of a documentary about high-functioning Asperger persons, born before the 90's, particularly females, not being found, supported and given all the needed resources, in society, community and the medical system, to be safe, productive and successful. Last year, at age 53, I was diagnosed HF Asperger. By that point, so much damage, from violence, assault and displacement, had already been done to me. Fortunately for me, I have an inner strength and faith that gives me focus driven tenacity and determination to raise the alarm bells that this is not right and society needs to demand our government and medical systems step up and get this corrected by funding at every state, county and city level ASD [autism spectrum disorder] programs that are not just for the seriously developmentally challenged, but also for HF adults and seniors, who are late to the ASD community. ASD awareness, in the 21st century, is moving tragically way too slow and very little production of resources and services are being done to speed it up. That is why I want to create a production studio to make films, on ASD, to sound the alarm, through education and storytelling. No one is talking about this topic, except for parents of ASD children, who are advocating their concerns, about the limited resources for caregivers and the lack of medical and government support, when they die and their "then" older adult child is left alone. Then, for some adult ASD, like me, their families cannot even acknowledge the diagnosis let alone provide the correct support. There is so much to discuss, in this documentary. I am excited to make local connections to launch this film project.
