Last weekend was great. My friends and I participated in a symposium at Jefferson. Not to brag, but we rocked it. Really loved representing my non-speaking peers. We discussed how architects can improve spaces for autistic people. It was so wonderful to be listened to by professionals. Spelling partly gives me a voice, yes. But I need others to respect that voice. Sunday that was the case and it means the world to me. Really want to thank Wendy Ross for making it possible.

Hey Alex, I am so happy for the fact that you were able to represent yourself and your friends to the architects. It had to be a wonderful feeling to have those people truly value your input. I also had a chance to read the book you were published in, writers without a voice. My favorite entry was “see me”. As always I Love You and am always very proud of you. UNCLE JEFF.
