E NOTE
Chantal Sicile-Kira
Chantal Sicile-Kira’s passion for
empowering others, her love of writing,
and her personal interest in autism has
led her to become a leader in the field
of adolescence and transition to
adulthood, and an international
speaker and award-winning author of
five books.
“If you are accepting of the belief that life can be good even
with autism, then your child will think so, too. You are the
most important person in your child’s life, and you can
make them believe that anything is possible.” ― Chantal
Sicile-Kira, A Full Life with Autism
Sicile-Kira first worked with individuals with autism in California and
then raised her son Jeremy, who has autism, in three different
countries. These experiences give her a perspective few in the field
have. Chantal recently founded AutismCollege.com which provides
practical information and training on-line for parents and educators.
