Hartley Steiner is the author of the book Sensational Journeys, the founder of the SPD Blogger Network (www.spdbloggernetwork.com), and a contributing writer for the SPD Foundation’s blog, S.I. Focus magazine, and Autism Spectrum Quarterly. The mother of three boys, you can find her chronicling the never-ending chaos that is her life on her blog, Hartley’s Life with 3 Boys (www.hartleysboys.com), and on Twitter as @ParentingSPD. When she isn’t writing or dealing with a meltdown, she enjoys spending time in the company of other adults—preferably with good food and even better wine. She lives near Seattle, Washington.
