Welcome!
My name is Jane Dunthorne. I am a wife and mother of three wonderful children, one of whom has autism.
My husband and I moved to the United States from England in 1993 and have lived in the Pittsburgh area on and off ever since.

Testimonials
Did you know that 66% of children with autism are bullied? That's three times the rate of their siblings and peers. While many schools have adopted anti bullying programs and actively encourage acceptance of every pupil, the distinctive behaviors exhibited by children with autism make them a target for bullies. "Understanding My Friends With Autism" is a program designed to help kids aged 5-11understand why their peers with autism act the way they do.
People with autism interact with adults in many different situations on a daily basis. It is not only the strangers that they come into contact with who often find it hard to deal with the many unique behaviors they exhibit; often the people charged to be their caregivers do not understand why they act the way they do and, as a result, they are unsure how to help them. "Welcome To My World" is a program designed to help them understand why people with autism act the way they do.
