- 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.

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.
