The "Aspie" Family:
Blair, Jodi, Caleb & Miriam Hill
A Unique Perspective on Autism
Blair Hill, Th.M.; Jodi Hill, Th.M.
Founders and Exec. Directors
Professional educators, speakers and entrepreneurs, and experts on autism will be sharing their unique perspective on autism learned from a lifetime of studying, living with autism and raising two children with autism.
Hi! You may be wondering who we are and just why this issue means so much to us. Jodi and Blair Hill have been married for 20 years and live with autism every day. We have 2 children: Miriam-12, and Caleb-18, who also have autism. Our lives, individually and as a family, are just full of stories about daily life with Autism…some humorous and some not quite so funny, with many adventures and struggles, victories and disappointments, laughter and tears… we could write a book. Our story is one of hope and overcoming as we share our journey dealing with the daily realities of living with a disability.
We provide autism education for parents, family, professionals and those on the spectrum from the perspective of someone who has lived it. "A Unique Perspective on Autism." It’s learning about Autism from the inside out. Education about autism from autism. Obviously, the most unique thing about us is that we all have High Functioning Autism, sometimes referred to as Asperger’s. Even though Asperger’s is no longer a term used on the diagnostic scale in the new DSM-V, we use the term “Aspie” as a way to identify ourselves. We sometimes refer to ourselves as “The Aspie Family”. We’re kind of like the Addams Family …a little more modern…but at times, almost as strange. Many people ask us what unique challenges we face as a family of “Aspies” and what we do to meet those challenges. We would love the opportunity to share a little bit of our story with you.
So…
What unique challenges do we face as a whole family with Autism?
How do we work together to meet those challenges on a daily basis?
How does Autism affect us?
What are our limitations?
What are our coping strategies?
