Dror Arbel

I'm Dror Arbel, Saar's parent and the founder of 101Autism.com. Saar is an autistic teenager who loves football, cycling and music, plays the piano and paints. Loud sounds can overwhelm him and sudden changes unsettle him, so much of what I write about comes from real life at home and at school. I started 101Autism to share our family's journey and to turn what we have learned about testing, school and daily life into clear, practical guides. I am a parent, not a clinician: I link to research and official sources, and nothing on this site replaces advice from a qualified professional.
