Journeys with Autism

I’m Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg, and I publish this blog, Journeys with Autism. I’m an inveterate writer, a compulsive editor, an eclectic artist, an amateur photographer, the wife of a wonderful man, and the mother of an amazing daughter.

I currently work as a personal care assistant for a little boy with multiple disabilities. I’m also a graduate student at Union Institute and University, where I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in History and Culture, with an emphasis on Disability Studies.

At the age of 50, I awoke to my place on the autism spectrum and discovered a world of gifts, struggles, and life-changing possibilities. My latest book, Blazing My Trail: Living and Thriving with Autism, was published in September of 2011.

I welcome your questions and love being of support to autistic people, autism parents, and autism professionals. Feel free to contact me at rachel@journeyswithautism.com.
