Welcome!

Celebrating Abilities Inc. started as a support group located in southwest Florida for parents of children with different abilities. We are no longer active as a group because we've all moved on to other areas of the United States. I've decided to keep the blog active so that information can be shared with our loyal families and some new ones, too.

Reno's World

Announcement: (Book) Reno's World ~ Presenting Autism and Related Disabilities To Youth is finally finsihed!  


Reno is 12 years old and for the past year has been a public speaker trying to spread autism awareness to his community.  


Reno was born legally blind and carries many diagnosis including Asperger's but hopes this book and his story will not only teach you about autism but inspire you to always look at your abilities, NOT your disabilities.  


After realizing that he did a few things different than some of his friends he started researching what having Asperger's really did mean. He did not understand the terminology that was used, so after months of research, he wrote a brochure and power point to educate those around him using terminology that everyone including his peers could understand. His book is comprised of all of his writings, focusing on how to be a good friend to kids with autism.  


This book is truly an educational tool to all who read it!  


Please feel free to pass this along to anyone that you feel would benefit from this book.  


Thank you all so much for the support you have all given to our family and especially the tremendous support and praise that you have given to Reno!  


Please take time to notify your local library about Reno's World ~ Presenting Autism and Related Disabilities To Youth, to help continue autism awareness throughout all of our communities. Together we can make a difference!

I've seen Reno's presentation on how to be a friend to someone with Autism. Reno not only describes in detail what Autism is and what it is not, he provides valuable information not just to children, but adults too. For the many challenges that Reno faces, he has become an inspiration to me for the way he faces those challenges. Autism is a social communication disorder, yet Reno is able to communicate quite effectively what it means and what it feels like to have Asperger Syndrome. I'm so proud of Reno and his accomplishments, but I'm most proud of calling him and his family, our friends.
