Awesomism!
By: Suzy Miller

What is Awesomism?
Suzy Miller is the founder of Blue Star Brilliance and the Author of AWESOMISM:A New Way to understand the Diagnosis of Autism. She is a communication specialist who is advancing the consciousness of parents and professionals related to the special gifts needs and potential of their children. She is passionate about working with families of newly diagnosed children, creating an immediate and sustained shift in awareness, perception and thus experience of their child.
Suzy Miller had been a highly skilled speech-language pathologist for close to two decades when, through an amazing experience with a 4-year child diagnosed with autism, she came to a break through way of understanding and working with these gifted children. Her revolutionary thinking and clear foundation preserves the humanity and dignity of children, empowers parents and makes a great deal of sense to anyone interacting with these highly aware children.
Blue Star Brilliance is a company dedicated to providing parents and professionals with a higher level of awareness around the diagnosis of autism. It is Suzy’s experience and belief that these children are not “disordered” but different and that difference is exactly what the world needs right now. She speaks of the four levels of conscious awareness Physical, Mental, Sensing/Soul and Essence/Spirit. The services offered through Blue Star Brilliance coaches families, gifted with autism, to see beyond the physical and mental processes where autism truly becomes AWESOMISM. Suzy states the only difference between “disorder” and gift is perception”. By changing your awareness, you change your perception and when perception changes a whole new experience emerges.
