Wayne Gilpin founded the Future Horizons publishing company in 1996. Before that, he was publishing car repair guides and law books. But his son’s diagnosis of autism rerouted his career path. He joined the Autism Society of America and was voted president in 1987. Collecting as much information on autism as he could, Wayne was saddened by the fact that all of the resources at the time were very negative and offered little hope for his son. But his experience told a different story. His son Alex was a gentle, honest, and intelligent person, and Wayne was confident that Alex would overcome his obstacles and defy the odds. To bring a little light into the autism community, he compiled and published a book called Laughing and Loving with Autism. It contained humorous and touching stories from parents of children with autism. It was the first book to really capture the positive aspects of these kids, and it gave other parents hope.
Now, over 100 books and DVDs later, Future Horizons is the leading autism publisher in the world. We focus on materials that offer hope and practical strategies for parents, teachers, therapists, and others in the autism community. We aim to publish only materials that will make life better for people with autism, both immediately and in the future. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or a person on the autism spectrum, keep up the great work out there, and thank you for the work you are doing.
