Your vehicle makes a positive statement about #autism & community! It would also be good for anyone on the spectrum to hear front line officers explain how they are ready to assist autistic persons in difficult situations & what we need to know when confronted by police?

Unemployment among young people living w/ autism is an issue that we aim to address during 2019 & beyond. It was great to attend @spectrumworks1 fair last month - to see all of the volunteers, companies, parents & youth, working towards creating opportunities. @SpecInCanada

Sex ratio male:female 1:3.15. Lower than previous estimates. Getting closer to 1:2. (M. Matheis) #AutisticGirls #AutisticWomen #StartingToBeSeen #INSAR2019

Neurodiversity does not mean Autism is not a disability.
I am Autistic. I am Disabled.
I am disabled by my Autism, and also by the way I am treated by society because of my Autism.
I also strongly support the idea of Neurodiversity.
This is a simple concept.
