In Saratoga County, NY, the police were called by a @Target employee on Black teens, siblings. Police harassed & became forceful & violent with a 14 year old autistic boy who was holding candy. He kept saying over & over, “I have money.”#AskingAutistics #AutismAcceptanceMonth

President/CEO of Making Strides for Autism Inc. Carrence Bass made a report with several suggestions. She thinks a good place to start would be tor the city to partner with local businesses that specialize in swim lessons for autistic children. @FCN2go

1. I’m deeply saddened to learn another young child has died in a privately owned retention pond. Effective immediately, I am directing my administration to allow natural growth around retention ponds to create natural barriers to prevent further tragedies.

My son Jay has Autism & is the reason I wear a mask, social distance & stay home. I adore him. He would have a hard time processing what is happening to him and following directives if he got Covid. Who do you love and are protecting? For safety tips: CovidHelpLA.org
