Welcome to Autism Global Network's Blog

Our Story

Autism Global Network was born in March 2009 as a result of the struggles and triumphs we have experienced as a family since our three beautiful children were all diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum in July 2007. Kristie, who was 8 at the time, was diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome. Our identical twin sons, Jacob and Aaron, were diagnosed as having Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
We quickly realised that little was known by the community and the medical profession about autism and other related conditions. Sadly, this meant that there wasn’t much available in terms of services to help us and so we decided to embrace autism and do everything we could to give all of our children the opportunity to be the best that they can be.We are very proud to say that through team work as a family in combination with everyone in our support network,the children have made inspirational progress.
We dedicate this website to the families across the globe that are living with ASD and the many other related conditions, some of which include: ADD, ADHD, PDD-NOS, dyslexia and epilepsy. Our goal is to share the knowledge and experience that we, along with other families and professionals have gainedas a global network. We hope that the sharing of information and experiences will unite everyone to create a more powerful support network and make life that bit easier for families living with these conditions.
We do not plan to rest on our laurels and will keep researching and learning as much as we can to help save you the time and effort required to do this. Although we can’t be in your homes helping out with the housework, therapy, medical regimes, diet/cooking processes and emotional issues that is a part of your everyday life, we can be here to share our experiences with you and hopefully save you time by providing a NETWORK of quality information, advice and support.
All the best for your own personal journey.
Love Shane, Allison, Kristie, Jacob and Aaron Dix
