Purpose of this blog

My name is Mark Lyons. I am the owner, writer, typist, shipping clerk, and all around go-fer of readingwarmupsandmore.com. My wife, Sally, has written any and all of the poems found in my products. She also serves as telephone answerer when I am away.

Welcome to my blog! I hope this blog serves three purposes:

   1. To provide articles, ideas, beliefs, and understandings about reading;
   2. To provide information about autism;
   3. To  provide an outlet for my writings apart from readingwarmupsandmore.com.

Autism

     Autism is a developmental disorder involving the brain. There is a wide variance of the symptoms of autism. Many people with autism often have trouble communicating with others and also have difficulty interacting with other people. More than one million people in the United States have been diagnosed with autism and many millions more around the world live with autism.

     One of the best things that you can do is to become educated about autism and its effect on the people that have autism. I have included links to many excellent websites that can provide you with information about autism, treatments for autism, and ways that you can become involved. Thank you.

     Click on any of these websites to find out more about autism and how you can become involved.
