I want to share Jenny’s life journey with Autism as she is living proof and a role model that these individuals are a huge asset and blessing to society and to us individually. There is still a stigma with Autism and the world needs to look at it in a entirely different way.

05040_Story_Jenny001 Jenny was born in Yellowknife, but lived the majority of her life in Vernon, British Columbia. Jenny graduated Grade 12 with Honors and Scholarships and then moved right after High School to Vancouver to attend Vancouver Film School for Animation and is now a 2D Classical and 3D Digital Character Design Animator. Jenny recently just finished working on a film for Super Channel with her animation and about to start on another film. Jenny also published her novel of a Trilogy in May 2015 and right from pre order was an Amazon and Canadian Best Seller. She is currently working on the second novel for the Trilogy. Despite being diagnosed with very low functioning Autism at 3 years old, Jenny has blossomed and always remained focused on pursuing her dreams and is passionate in inspiring others to do the same. She has just turned 23 this month, 95 % out of her Autism and is living proof and a role model to show others that Autism is not a Death Sentence but a rich fulfilled Life Sentence.

TSM 15/26 Becoming Unique with Autism

June 18, 2015July 6, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 3 Comments

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest James Charles originally aired June 30th

Mental Challenges and Autism are even more evident today, but are we any closer to understanding them and the gifts they can be? Meet James Charles who has worked in the mentally disabled world for a long time only to discover he has always had Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Having struggled with social interaction and emotional development as a child, James was badly bullied and found himself consumed with overwhelming feelings of fear and anxiety. It wasn’t until he entered his fifth decade that the diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder proved to be a revelation. It was only after he began to recognize the signs and symptoms of his patients in himself while he was working as a mental health practitioner, that he found the courage to seek out an official diagnosis. Suddenly released from the feelings of guilt, confusion and distress he had experienced since childhood, James embraced life anew, began studying to become a life coach, and finally realized that his autism was, in fact, a gift.

His book “Becoming Unique” is a moving and informative account of one man’s journey towards Autism Spectrum Disorder. Whilst delivering practical and constructive advice for those living with autism, Charles also examines the positive attributes of the disorder, which he calls a diffability. Becoming Unique is also a story of faith, as James examined his relationship with God and how he made peace with his diagnosis. A rare and valuable first-person narrative about living with autism, James Charles’ story will stay with the reader forever stay with you.

P14/49a The Gift of Mental Challenges

March 16, 2015February 26, 2018Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 2 Comments

Originally Aired in December on Positive Living Vibrations with Sara Troy and her guest Bill Macquis.

Mental Challenges are Human Evolution of Today’s Mind

Mental challengers, why do we define them, understand them, communicate with them and do we really know what these mental challenges mean?

O.C.D Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. A.D.D. Attention Deficit Disorder. A.D.H.D. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Bio Polar. Sphistafrania, Depression. Anxiety. Autism.

Today we see more and more people with mental challenges, but this does not mean the are disabilities. When we choose to look at these challenges as gifts and choose to communicate on their level we understand the gifts that they bring to us.

Look at our children and how the learning skills have evolved, when we were young we did not compute half of what they are able to take in today. So why do we judge, ignore feel sorry for those who have a mental challenge today? If we choose to learn FROM THEM, to communicate and help them in their spectrum we open our minds, hearts and souls to their perspectives and gifted way of thinking of a different mind.

How do we recognize when help is needed?

What are the triggers of distressful minds?

What can we do to redirect that stress?

How do we embrace the gifted mind?

Bill Maquis

Who has O.C.P.

OBSESSIVE Compulsive Phenomenon knows the struggles of mental challenges.

”I am a simple man, living a humble life who seeks only to live life with purpose, meaning, and dignity. I live my life by the graces granted to me by my God in order to follow the path in life that has been laid before me to follow.”

You are walking along the street, and you see off in the near distance a scruffy looking man with a full grown graying beard and longish scraggly Afro looking blond hair, dressed in jeans and a tee shirt walking staggeringly toward you wearing untied shoes. As you draw nearer to each other, the man raises his head with a smile on his face and politely say’s what a beautiful day it is and proceeds to ask how you are doing today”.

For those very rare people who upon that chance first encounter with Bill, stop and immediately inquire to see if he is in need of any assistance as soon as they see him, to which Bill raises his head and in response says that he is OK which he then follows up with in a joking manner that he is out for his daily training run for the upcoming Olympics and that he wants to one day try out to become a member of the “Special Olympics Archery Team” and while saying this he raise his trembling arms in jest. With that everyone usually breaks out in laughter which leads to further questions to learn about Bill’s challenges. Unbeknownst to them they have inadvertently opened Bill’s “Pandora’s Box” and soon find themselves deeply engrossed in conversation with Bill. A conversion filled with mystery and intrigue lasting for several hours. One the first things people often discover about Bill is that he lives each day having to face dealing with multiple physical, neurological and behavioural challenges. Bill then goes on to explain that these are mere “Gifts” that have been bestowed upon him and expresses how much he cherishes and gives thanks for being bestowed them in that because of the special gifts he has been able to grow into the man he has become.
