She works as a behavior interventionist, a dance and yoga teacher and a writer. She has delved deeply into the world of autism through the minds and bodies of her children, as described in both and Autsim: Hot Pink and Zebra-Striped and The Castle We Called Home.
The pervasive challenges of both of her unique children enticed and demanded that she live very much submerged in their unique worlds, to help them to emerge. In her words: "Back then, when Hayden and Genevieve were so small and so overwhelmed by the world, I took their lead and I trained myself. It was out of desperation, so I was highly motivated. But it was also out of fascination. In some ways, getting in and living in their world was the easy part. The tough part was getting out and reprogramming myself.”
Simone became her children's "stepping stone" as well as their therapist and program designer. All levels of her work and experiences are absolute joys, equal to the joy of speaking and presenting through the media and her writing, about autism and the endless ways of embracing it. She has appeared on numerous television and radio programs across Canada, and into the United States, speaking about her experiences and perspectives pertaining to autism.
The challenges of being relentlessly driven, creative and insightful in forging out successful paths for her children, is met with her desire to focus on the impact of these unique children on their families. Both of her books explore lovingly and realistically the far-reaching effects on siblings and parents. She speaks candidly about the intense joys and equally, about the intense difficulties and complexities.
Simone writes with passion, and yet as though she is sitting across from the reader, conversing over a cup of coffee. Her writing and insight have been recognized and acknowledged by the highly-esteemed animal scientist, author and autism advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin.
Simone lives a fascinating life in British Columbia, Canada, where she daily integrates her bountiful experiences, observations and musings about the world of autism, with her other passions of working with, and affecting children and adults, through dance, yoga and writing. Her Bachelor of Arts degree in English provides the backbone for past, present and future writing endeavors. However, the heart of her writing comes from the incredible life experiences she has been blessed to have!
