Mr. Pickles says Happy World Autism Day!!!
We are so excited for the month of April and all of the conferences, events, runs!!!
It's our month to celebrate, educate, be visible, be counted, be seen and to be heard...
We live in a world that's simply not set up for us to be in let alone succeed in..
A world that tends to over look us, disregard us, not include us, and devalue us...
A world that doesn't give us a place at the table and the table itself isn't low enough for us to see over it...
A world that doesn't offer us equity or equality....
A world that is rich in resources and money...
Yet our services and supports that allow us just the bare bones of the ability to live in our homes instead of institutions are always being cut and what is offered keeps becoming less and less...
Ourselves and our loved ones are in a position where we can't afford to live and do not have the means to support ourselves...
And this is just the tip of the iceberg...
No we are far from equality...
But we are strong and "stand on the backs of giants."...
We are here again for another month that aims to change these injustices and to find solutions for problems such as funding, research, independent living, inclusion, communication, behavioral issues, ABA, community, transportation, housing, social skills, therapy, education, support staff, agencies, generic services, day programs, support, quality of life, visibility, outreach, early interventions, the list could go on and on...
