I'm a wife, mother, artist, writer, blogger, and singer. I was diagnosed with Asperger's in November of 2008, and SPD/dyspraxia in January of 2009,when I was 50. I published my first book in 2007, and I'm hard at work on another.
This is Nolan. He was diagnosed just after his 2nd birthday in 2007. He's now four, and is such a smart little guy (well, he's actually a BIG guy --- almost 70 pounds). He loves to smile and get squeezes, and is surprisingly affectionate. Don't those cheeks look juicy?
Jonathan was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome when he was three and a half years old. He's so sweet, funny, creative and insightful, which is a good thing. Because sometimes he can be so rigid and hard to deal with. He loves computers, playing chess and drawing his own comic book character "Purple Man."
Or back of the head if you prefer! These positive images speak for themselves.
If you would like to add a photograph please email me at Julielorenzen[at]hotmail.com with a short caption and a link to your blog if you have one.
I hope you will make some new friends.
I would love any art work to add to the side bar.
Thank you! Note: Faces of Autism has a new administrator, as of 9-25-11, which is why the contact email has changed. Julie Lorenzen will now take submissions to this blog.

Emma made their clothes out of crayons and paper and taped together the clothes. They are W.I.T.C.H. characters. She knows more about who they are of course.
