Dee Blose is Oklahoma’s premier Autism Diva. She knows all there is to know about Autism. If it is here in Oklahoma and available she knows about it and she has her hands in it. She has devoted her life to helping people connect to services and families navigate the Autism River without drowning.
I met Dee at a workshop she was giving for the Oklahoma Autism Network. She was telling about her story. She has a son named David. He is now twenty years old. She had to struggle a little more than some of the younger mothers do now. There are a few more resources on hand now, in part thanks to Dee.
Dee understood me from the start. Dee could feel what I felt. She reached into my heart and took my hurt away. She knew what to say to me. She could redirect my anger and make it a positive. She forgives readily. I told her of a teacher, a coach that had worked wonders with my son. I said I wrote a story about what he had done. She asked me to send it to her and she had it published in an Autism newsletter.
Dee gives of herself. She shapes events. She writes grants. She is the head of Canadian Youth and Family Services, a County agency in Oklahoma. Dee has written a children’s book on Autism. She is on the Oklahoma Autism Network Board. She does workshops for the Network. She helps with the Canadian Valley Family Autism Support Group.
Yet, she had time to take me under her wing. When I was angry and very upset, she seemed to wrap her arms around me and guide me through a period in my life that I was very vulnerable. I feel she is a mentor to me. Dee is helping me find my place in the volunteer world of Oklahoma Autism. She knows that keeping my family together is important. Finding time to give and still keep my family together is important.
What else can I say? Dee is selfless. Dee is knowlegable. Dee is fun. Dee is ever learning. Dee is tireless. Dee seems to have Autism magic and sprinkles it around with a wand of ABA technique that a predestined or predetermined cause. She just has a twinkle in her mind’s eye that recognizes what’s to be.
She inspired me to write. I don’t know if she meant to do this. Sometimes I think I shall quit. But, then I think she saw something in me. Dee has an ability to discern things in people. I am not saying I will be a great writer but that writing is a talent that I shall try to develop if only for helping me with my son with Autism. I do know and will not back down on this, which Dee is very talented and deserves a crown as a one of Oklahoma’s, if not the, Autism Diva’s.
