Autism Consulting Service

for autism, Asperger's and PDD-NOS

Let Us Introduce Ourselves!

Company Profile

Autism Consulting Service has been offering its services to individuals, families, schools and organizations which are involved with autism since 1991. The main focus of the organization is the use of the words and experiences of those on the autism spectrum to understand autism and to develop effective methods of care.  Our services are also based on the standard of "FIRST DO NO HARM". Since we believe that we are working with a group of people who are already in trouble it doesn't make any sense to add more trauma to their lives in any form.

Our search for understanding autism from within has been an exciting journey as we have pieced together the puzzle of autism, one concept after another throughout the years. We are excited to announce that we believe that we have recently discovered "the last piece of the puzzle" of autism. This website is our attempt to share what we have learned with the world.

Our Mission

To provide a clear understanding of the autism spectrum

To promote and establish environments where individuals on the autism spectrum can live with dignity and acceptance, freely being included in all of society.

To instill a sense of hope and promote higher expectations in family members, caregivers and anyone else who works with individuals on the autism spectrum.

To offer our services to improve the health and welfare for all who are affected by autism.

Our People

Gail Gillingham Wylie, owner and operator of Autism Consulting Service has a Masters of Science degree in Individual, Family and Marital Counseling and is also a certified biofeedback therapist. She started working in the field of autism in 1988 as a group home supervisor after receiving her Bachelors degree in psychology. She remembers well the total frustration of dealing with the extreme behaviors of individuals with autism with no understanding of why they were reacting like they were. Listening to the professionals didn't seem to help so Gail changed her focus to listening to those who have autism. This lead to understanding autism in a completely new and different way and developing methods of care that were based on the real needs of those on the spectrum, instead of what we are looking at from the outside. She has published two books on her methods Autism Handle with Care and Autism a New Understanding as well as co-editing a third: Sharing our Wisdom with Dr. Sandra McClennen of Michigan.

Gail is a member of the Board of Directors of the Autism National Committee and is currently serving on the editorial committee of their newsletter: The Communicator.

Gail's husband Clayton Wylie helps with sales, workshops and is also currently training as a biofeedback therapist.

Web Changes

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first. We are just beginning this process so please be patient with us.

We've found a product that can detox naturally and safely. What's more it doesn't taste or smell so that we can use with with our super sensitive children and adults.

New research out of the University of Montreal indicates we are missing the boat when it comes to measuring the intelligence level of those on the autism spectrum. See Intelligence for the whole story

Want to know how people on the spectrum want to be educated? Learn from Wally  In the midst of being totally logical and what one expects an education to look like, it's a revolutionary suggestion when compared to what is happening for our children with autism in the real world. See an example of how this is accomplished by crabtail (a nickname). It's not that difficult.

Autism Consulting Service adds updates to the results of using the EFPX to the announcement of The Last Piece of the Puzzle on a regular basis. See AUTISM for more details.
