Sensory Gated Art
Discover the new genre of Sensory Gated Art, developed by its autistic founder, Amanda Hebert Hughes - American Artist.
Leveraging color, line, texture, and psychology, she delivers a calming and accessible new genre to the world of art and design. From her famous painting remakes to her Latin collection, Amanda’s style is immediately recognizable. Amanda Hebert Hughes believes that color is information and her passionate approach to color mixing is nothing short of a “mad scientist”, a label she wears proudly. Her attention to detail in all her line work painted by hand is nothing short of deeply satisfying for viewers.
Her work has been featured in The Edge, a global publication by Cushman and Wakefield as a premier new approach to neuro-friendly design that benefits everyone. Follow her work, collect original art directly from the artist herself, and join the movement.
RockstarX
At RockstarX we believe people should think outside the box and also help them find their dream job within the gaming, entertainment, music, film, and technology industries and show the world how and why these individuals are exactly what society is turning their backs on because one size does not fit all in the world and the workplace for without these people, we wouldn’t have the technology we have today.
We want people to be given equal opportunity to achieve their best version of themselves and chase their dreams and ambitions. But also, be paid the legal minimum wage and not discriminated against in any way, shape, or form. We focus on supporting NDs on their journey to realizing and achieving their dreams in a society that has given little to no focus on helping them. Everyone has experienced feeling out of place, not wanted, or pushed away, most can shrug it off and move on, and that is the expectation. Autistic people do not have that luxury. Society chases them and living with the fear to conform is inescapable.
Our CEO and Founder Joel Felsenstein was diagnosed with autism when he was nine and has felt the pressure to obey a level of ‘normality’ ever since. So many others like himself are square pegs forced into round holes and this has to stop.
Hump Group
HUMP GROUP was founded in 2015 as a community-oriented organisation to educate and raise the awareness of Bedouin (Nomadic) traditions to the wider community. We specialise in camel milk products and Palestinian Medjool dates by seeking to build community bridges through the wisdom of Bedouins. HUMP GROUP is also an active volunteer of various organisations that help special individuals with autism, hearing impairments and Down's Syndrome.
Read Cursive Fast
I'm Kate Gladstone: a dyslexic,
dyspraxic, dysgraphic, ADHD,
autistic..and I teach and remediate
handwriting worldwide
through my businesses —
http://readcursivefast.com and
I’ve been doing this since 1987,
when I was 24 years old and in
graduate school. Till then, I’d never
been able to write decipherably,
except sometimes by slowing
down to a rate of 2 or 3 words
a minute — despite literally
decades of school essons, extra
lessons,and other ever-more
despairing and frustrating
interventions on the subject
of handwriting. Further, I could
not even begin to read the
handwriting f others, no matter
how well it was written,
if any letters were joined. Today,
my handwriting instruction
and remediation business
has its roots in the strategies
that I eventually developed
at age 24 to solve these
situations for myself and for
another family member with
similar (though lesser) issues.
I teach people of all ages and
walks of life, with and without
disabilities,to write in
a legible, rapid, and accident-
resistant way — and to read,
quickly and easily, the handwriting
of others. My goal is to ensure
that everyone can read even quite
complicated handwriting — and
that we all, especially we who
have the “dys-“abilities, can write
more sensibly by hand ourselves.
The “cursive reading” side of my
business has become one of the
interventions I’m most often asked
to provide, ever since the 2021
publication of my book
READ CURSIVE FAST (from
National Autism Resources) —
https://nationalautismresources.com/
or through my book’s own web-site at
(I’ve also a more general site on
handwriting techniques and resources,
at http://HandwritingThatWorks.com)
The best ways to reach me quickly
for a first contact are via Twitter
DM (KateGladstone or @fast_read)
and on Facebook or Facebook Messenger
(https://m.facebook.com/KateGladstone)
My best-mail address is
— however, owing to the volume
of e-mail, it’s usually best to contact me
first through Twitter or Facebook.
