Why Hello There!
I am interested in
connecting with others affected by autism....
collecting the experiences of individuals and their families to try to see the common needs...
sharing those experiences to acquaint those not familiar with the autism population, in particular those with the often unseen and extreme needs, who are suffering...
considering every person and situation is different, that respecting children with profound needs means acknowledging that this portion of the population often has unique circumstances and is often isolated and excluded from meaningful opportunities....
calling on those in a position to help to alleviate the hardships some face and to create appropriate resources for all ...
action via policy, advocacy, industry, resources, projects, ideas, efficiencies ....
in an effort to improve the lives of those with some of the debilitating forms of autism.
