I treasure my meetings with individuals affected by autism - parents, children, teachers and friends. Their strength is inspiring. They deserve all possible opportunities for education, employment and integration.

Schools connect children to their communities. Jobs connect adults to their societies. Persons with autism deserve to walk the same path.

To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members.
