- From: EmpowerAutism
- Name: EmpowerAutism
- About Me: I am neurotypical, and have known people with autism for about 10 years. I really enjoy working with a wide variety of thinkers, including people with autism. I believe that people with autism have a lot to offer the world, and so do the rest of us. My vision for the future includes neurotypical people appreciating (socially and financially) the autistic mind. You can follow me on twitter @empowerautism. I have a blog at www.empowerautism.com.
