Mission Statement
Autism Spectrum Quarterly (ASQ) is a Magajournal® that combines the best of a high-quality magazine with the substance and depth of a professional journal. Its mission is to serve as an information leader for, and bridge between the research and general autism communities. The Birth of a Brand New Publication: A Happily Ever After Story
The little newsletter that was not so little anymore celebrated its entry into "adolescence" with a new name, for in the year 2002, The Morning News became The Jenison Autism Journal. Notwithstanding its new name, some things about it didn’t change—like its commitment to quality and excellence. Over the years, first as The Morning News, and most recently The Jenison Autism Journal, this "little newsletter" has covered some of ASD’s most important issues, and it has done so with the thoroughness and attention to detail that the autism community has come to associate with Carol Gray. With the dawn of the year 2004 the "little newsletter" has come of age, and to celebrate this new phase in a most impressive literary career, the Jenison Public Schools is turning over the reigns of The Jenison Autism Journal to Starfish Specialty Press. There will be many new and exciting features in this new publication, but as in the past, there are some things that won’t change—like its commitment to quality and excellence!

there was a little newsletter that
began in a brick-walled school building in Jenison, Michigan.
It was called, simply, The Morning News, a name which paid
homage to the freshest and most productive part of the day.
The brain child of the Jenison Public School’s autism consultant Carol Gray, The Morning
News began to grow and prosper. Under Carol’s expert and loving tutelage it began to garner
not only a national, but also an international presence. Where newsletters of lesser "stuff"
might have paled in the glare of the spotlight, The Morning News flourished. All the while
it remained true to its mission to bring down-to-earth, practical information to families,
professionals, and persons with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
