We want to work
We want to work, we want a better future. We are not satisfied with this grant and we want opportunities to be sufficiently financially independent.
Finding my voice
"I hold a deep concern for the mental health of our children and adolescents. They are a large fraction of our society that are voiceless and therefore most vulnerable."
Understanding my autism
"I’m pretty good at making eye contact because when I’m speaking to someone there’s a whole side conversation in my head about how long I should look at the person, when I should look away..."
A chance to work
By the time I was 21, I became restless and bored with being around only toddlers every day. I knew that there was more that I could do.
