Autism is a type of developmental disability, and David and I are very grateful for the efforts of people teaching him how to self-advocate, and who have helped him feel welcome in his community.

Please learn the history of developmental disability life and advocacy in your area, and consider ways to help welcome people with autism, down syndrome and other developmental disabilities into your workplace, worship place, and community.
