Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, US Senator, First Lady

Dan Olawski
Dan Olawski, Autism Father, Writer/Editor
"As Autism Dads we have many great opportunities to be joyous. Our children face a daily battle at times just getting through the day…each time they overcome those challenges is a time to be filled with joy. Perhaps your child has just beaten a severe stim, or tried eating a new food, or successfully used the potty. Let yourself see the joy in that, Autism Dad. I know my heart overflows on those rare times that Mikey looks me straight in the eye and says, “Daddy.” You don’t need to look very far for a joyful occasion (Dan Olawski, Autism Society, PB&J: The Secret to Being a Great Autism Dad)."

Lin Wessels
Lin Wessels, Autism Mother
"I have a son. He has autism. But, I also have a dream. I dare dream of a world where autism is not only treatable, but a world where autism is also curable and preventable.

It will signify hope for all...no matter your color, creed, sex, age or affliction (Lin Wessels, Autism, Empathy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., January 16, 2010)."
