Tribe- You Can't do it All Alone
Being German, it is in my nature and culture to be more of an individualist than a collectivist.

Horse Boy Method Not Just for Autism - Wounded Warrior Story
I'm starting to work with a Wounded Warrior at the United States Air force Academy. I was informed that he has a severe brain injury and has a difficult time communicating.

From the Caribbean to Cattle Country
At Horse Boy here in Elgin Texas, every six weeks a large, themed multi-family playdate is hosted for our local Autism families. Following up from our Winter Wonderland Christmas playdate, on Saturday 11th March 2017, we hosted our first big Carnival Playdate here at New Trails for all our families.

A place where everyone fits in
Living with depression can be a daily struggle, as it can surface at the most inconvenient times. For this reason, I have often found it is a perfect excuse to avoid any situation which might trigger it.
