     The Autism Handbook by Jack George

      (Is now available in both English and Spanish)

Jack E. George was raised in Modesto, CA. and lived most of his life there. He received his Associate of Arts Degree in Journalism in Modesto then transferred to the University of California, Turlock and received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology. Later he earned his Master of Arts Degree in Special Education from the University of Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont, CA.

He started teaching in the elementary grades. After seeing how far behind so many students fell, and learning that they were just passed on to the next grade, he eventually opened the first tutoring center in Stanislaus County. The center proved it was needed after he had more than 40 students enrolled after two months of operation. A few years later he opened a private day school for Grades K-9. Instead of closing the tutoring center he integrated the two. The non-denominational school was a success.  During these years he started working with students suffering from various learning disabilities and became increasingly aware of the seriousness and the need to promote understanding.

.

Hence his teaching career took a twist later in his life when he decided he would like to teach only children with disabilities. His first class consisted of severely autistic students. The challenge was great, but he realized it was his true calling. He found the experience to be extremely rewarding, although exhausting, as each day brought a new entry for the daily log he maintained. This log is what led to his writing, The Autism Handbook. (This is Jack’s second book – the first was, A Broken Charity. His third book, The Autistic Adult Handbook is presently being written).

During the last few years Jack has been living in Rosarito Beach, Baja California Mexico. He has formed a non-profit group to work with people with disabilities. He is a member of the Rotario Rosarito. He writes for an area newspaper, The Baja Times. He also works for an independent television station. Although he tries to convince people that he is retired; so far no one has bought this story...
