My life as an adult with more severe autism has been a journey, an adventure…one of love, faith, togetherness.  Members of my family and my friends who are also autistic are loved and loving, cared for deeply and able to care deeply in return.  Between us, we share this life as whole, real humans who bring so much to this world.  We communicate wonderfully together.   I am honoured to be a part of this wonderful group of people and to know so many fantastic young people with autism in our schools, communities and churches.  Society and employers who learn about us are blessed indeed by autism’s honesty, social justice, spirituality and talents.  A world of discovery to explore together, through the ups and downs that are part of any life.
