Vinia is a dedicated mother who strives to spread the awareness of autism and reach out to those who feel like they don’t have a voice. Her cause is simple – to connect to those that either experience autism or know someone that experiences autism and share a common humanity that definitely helps go a long way with human relation. That is the motivation behind her book, “High Functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder: 50 Rules For a Happy Life. From a Mother Who Loves You Lots.” Vinia is very passionate about achieving a positive mindset, which shows through her enthusiasm for literature related to personal development and growth.
Vinia has a growing following on Medium, be sure to check it out!
Vinia takes her years of experience of parenting an autistic child and summarises it into a set of very comprehensive guidelines for achieving better personal development and growth, no matter how hard the personal challenges along the way can be. From everyday tasks, such as time management, to bigger and more significant issues such as socialising and making new friends. The beauty of the guidelines presented in this book is that it doesn’t just relate to those with autism, it can relate to anyone who chooses to read it!

Friends have often asked me “how did you publish a book, Vinia?”. To that I could…

★★★★★
“This is an incredibly insightful, courageous and heart warming book. It literally brought a tear to my eye reading it from a mother’s perspective. Not only is the content thought provoking and supportive for those parents who have autistic children, but very valuable lessons can be learnt for anyone and everyone. Definitely recommend buying this book if you want a non medical and incredibly heart warming read.”
★★★★★
“Not one for sticking to rules, these ones gifted in this book are inspired by insightful wisdom that is spoken by someone who walks her talk. Brilliant. Grateful to have come across this magic human and her words.”
★★★★★
“I found the book to be highly motivational. At first I thought that the book will focus solely on the challenges of caring for autistic children. How wrong I was. This book is a highly motivational one with separate chapters on each motivational topic. I particularly liked the one that talked about the mistakes that we make as human beings and how we should just take it on the chin and learn from it and how we can achieve anything we want if we set our mind to it! I also like the fact that the author gives real examples from her own life to illustrate the topics under discussion. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a bit of a ‘pick me up’ or is just looking for some motivational support in their lives and obviously for parents who care for autistic children.”
★★★★★
“This is a wonderful book, each rule being a lesson for life. Although primarily written with her son in mind , the author has penned a reading experience that anyone can relate to and take simple steps to be a better, nicer and kinder person.”
★★★★★
“This book was meant to be a legacy of a loving mum to her beloved son who has HFASD, however upon reading on each rule I am convinced that this book can be a great reminder for everyone of us on how to deal with our daily lives positively. A heartwarming and a well written guide which we can always refer to. Well done!!”
★★★★
“This book gives a different and interesting insight into a very sensitive yet real subject from a parents’ perspective. It’s written in a way that is easy to understand and explains ASD from a social perspective rather than a medical one. It’s so important not to lose sight of the individual and human element and I think the author captured this beautifully.”
★★★★
“Simple book with some good advice especially someone on the autistic spectrum. Easy to read and refer back to at a later date.”
★★★★★
“Wonderfully written and very insightful about Autism Spectrum. Also, these 50 rules can be helpful to everyone.”
★★★★★

★★★★★
“This is one of the best books that I have read so far. I am so glad I came across this book.”
