My youngest son has autism and recently started residential college about 70 miles from where we live. He comes home at the end of each term and part way in between, travelling with a lovely boy called Ben, who has Down Syndrome.
They were home this weekend and Ben came into the house to use our bathroom. My son, who hardly speaks at all rushed straight to his collection of videos and immediately extracted one show me. It was called, “Ben and Me”.
He pointed to the toilet and said “Ben”, and then to himself as he said, “and Me”.
It brought tears to my eyes and made me realise how very intelligent he is. Not only was he able to convey his information in very simple terms without any fluff or hype ,but also he knew exactly where
to immediately find the video.
That was no mean feat. You see my son has well over one thousand videos, probably about 500 DVD’s and yet he knew EXACTLY where to lay his hand on the one he wanted.
I need to learn from my son, especially as far as my internet marketing efforts are concerned. I have so much information scattered around all over the place , and waste hours trying to find it. My advice therefore, for anyone who does anything on the internet is to have a GOOD filing system.
Make sure if you download anything you make sure you know exactly where you’ve put it. Just as Alex Jeffreys says – you must keep things organised and he is so right.
TIME is so valuable and you cannot afford to waste it.
Good Luck.

Thanks Gaille.
Those videos are really good aren’t they. Gives me something to work towards. Don’t think I’ll be getting out a pole though – unless it’s round!
Keep smiling!
