In June, we’re having two 4-day family camps for autistic kids and their families. It’s an exciting and unusual arrangement because it’s staffed by a range of autistic to non-autistic staff in cooperation as equals, without putting disabled people on a lower tier or in a separate category. My hope is that it opens up useful dialog while being fun and inspiring. More information on that is here:

New Mexico has been suffering from several wildfires around the state as many of you have probably heard. None of them have threatened Ocate Cliffs yet, but it’s an unusally dry year and we need to be extra-careful, as more fires will likely happen through the summer. The fire near Las Vegas has displaced thousands and destroyed many homes. If you want to help with a donation for the area, one foundation has set up a quick way to do that:
