Managing the Problem Behaviors of Autistic Child: My First Article for Suite101.com

Dear everyone:

As part of my effort to reach out to a wider audience and talk about my experiences, I am writing articles that will be published on an online writing Website called Suite101.com. My first piece, "Managing the Problem Behaviors of Your Autistic Child", will give you the basic steps for executing a highly effective behavioural management approach known as behavioral modification. Over the subsequent weeks, as more of my articles get published, I will be sure to put it in my blog.

Please share this with your friends and family who may benefit from this!
Thanks,

Kah Ying

Sebastien and me on Channel News Asia

Dear everyone: 

Sebastien and I were featured recently on "I-Journalist" (Channel News Asia) in a segment on mental illness; the topic was whether people with mental illness should have kids? Sebastien courageously coped with six hours of filming in one day, which was packaged into a five-minute segment. In this short clip, you will nonetheless learn about my struggles with manic depression and Sebastien's transformation of my life. Sebastien, autism and all, was instrumental in raising me up and challenging me to be better than I can be.

As you watch this programme, I hope that your minds would be "awakened" about people with special needs and mental illnesses -- my company's (Awakening Minds) mission.

Thank you.
