As the mother of four wonderful teenage boys Tsara spends a lot of time figuring out who she is so she can teach her sons to do the same. She also hears herself holler, "Stop Eating!" an awful lot! As her boys get older, she gets louder while sharing her beliefs and ideas. Again, as a way to comfortably ask them to do the same. Being the sister, daughter and mom of autism, much of what she has to say comes from what the challenges of living surrounded by so much difference taught her. Though her posts are rarely specifically about autism or parenting, they are always stories grown from the fertile and organic thinking soil that can be found where the two come together. Tsara is the author of the new book Spinning In Circles And Learning From Myself: A Collection of Stories that Slowly Grow Up.

Tsara Shelton is also a volunteer photo editor here on OEN. She had the honor of being interviewed on the Envision This! podcast, hosted by Burl Hall (a contributor to OEN) and his wife, Merry.

1) Good Enough Mother

I enjoyed answering questions for the Life Lessons series on Good Enough Mother. I think my favorite question to answer was the second one, what I would tell to my sixteen year old self. Have a peek!

2) Special Needs Book Review

An interview with me about my book, my views on autism and society, and writing.

3) WebTalk Radio - A New Spin on Autism: Answers

I enjoyed doing this interview especially - talking about writing, parenting, and culture - because the host of this podcast is my mom!

4) OpEdNews.com

An article by OEN writer Burl Hall that shares his thoughts on our previous interview. It's an overly kind article!

5) Envision This Radio

A delightful interview with OEN author Burl Hall and his wonderful wife, Merry. We spoke about global healing, parenting, autism, writing, and more. It was my first interview.
