Ten years ago yesterday, I published my first piece about autism. It sent me on the trajectory to write about autism as my second job, write my first book and now my second book. I still have the emails people sent to me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I’m proud to stand as an autistic person and celebrate the strength in our differences. Real change begins when we recognize, include, and value those who move through the world differently. Inclusion isn’t optional it’s how we all move forward 🫶🏽✨

For the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, I spoke with advocates about how this law is crucial–and the ways in which disability education can be made better as its under attack from the Trump administration at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This disability education law turned 50 today. Disability advocates want more.
