Personal Advocacy Projects
Aside from my affiliation with The Autism Acceptance Project (see link at left), I am pursuing advocacy at the federal and provincial level. ASD :: Awareness, Support, Development is not yet a non-profit organization, but with enough interest I am sure we will be able to form a Board and have a stronger impact on legislation and society.
