Many congratulations, Patricia!

Today marks the anniversary of Sammy’s Foundation becoming a charity. Thankyou to everyone who has supported us this past year. Without your support, the achievements we mention below would not have been possible. Please continue to help if you can. ❤️ paypal.com/GB/fundraiser/…



I am devastated to hear this news. Steve was an extraordinary woman and a true inspiration to so many of us. I could not have written any of my three books on autism without her generous support. I will miss her energy and humour enormously.

We are so sad to share that Dame Stephanie “Steve” Shirley CH has passed away aged 91. Child refugee turned tech pioneer, philanthropist & autism advocate, she founded an all woman software company & changed countless lives. Her light will never fade. Steveshirley.com

For those interested, as an autism specialist I have fascinating information on the making of Rain Man.

'CRUISE!' Tom Cruise recalls the first time he met Dustin Hoffman and how he got the part in Rain Man, in our recent in conversation at BFI Southbank. The full conversation is available to watch now on YouTube.



That is really excellent, Patricia. Well done!

Today I told the King about Sammy’s Foundation & our conversation is recorded below! “His Majesty was in his element talking about crafts, it is something he is passionate about….he was suggesting people and organisations I could talk to.”dailymail.co.uk/femail/article…

I can’t believe it’s been ten years since I gave a sold-out talk on the life and films of Michael Curtiz at London’s magnificent Cinema Museum.

"This study’s findings suggest autistic students are routinely overstimulated, overwhelmed and lack adequate support to overcome sensory barriers in mainstream settings." Stating the obvious here, but good to have evidence to show people.

Many thanks, Amanda!

I love Elaine Feinstein's poetry, I own two of her collections. I was also honoured to judge a poetry competition alongside her very talented son @AdamFeinst a couple of years back :-)
