My time working at the elementary school has shown me the true responsibilities that come from working in special education. I have a much greater appreciation for people working in the field after having seen the heart and discipline involved.

I feel that with autism, your brain just works different but not worse. I want people to know I can learn and do things like everyone else.

I realized there was a challenge, and it largely came about because I started talking to the autism community, and many were not traveling.

Being fearless and strong means seeing the light at the end of a dark tunnel and making your way through.
