The new decade has begun and I would like to thank all of you who have supported our mission and helped us along the way. Age of Autism was very kind in naming Teri and me Couple of the Year and I’m very touched by their support.
The new decade brings with it many of the obstacles of the past, but it also suggests something more than a change of date. If you put your ear close to the ground and listen very carefully you can hear it. There is a new dynamic at play that yearns for change.
Change is something that always seems to come more slowly the more fervently wished for. The change we wished for could not possibly come to pass until as a community we reached a point of maturity that put aside wishful thinking and developed the skills and tools necessary to change the future. We have.
Welcome to the age of advocacy.
