Why so negative on the possibility? Do you think it is a bad idea or that it just isn't possible for some reason?

Anything can be done in this world with enough money to fund it.


Not negative just reality. I've worked 7 days a week creating something really special. People are positive but it does not mean folks come out of the wood works to help one another. Money makes the world turn and I myself hate money. I'd say good luck but don't stop if you realize disappointment. My focus personally is on those whom experience or are prone to isolation. I have funding available to me by government to assist these individuals as that is why my organization is vendorizing as a quasi-government agency and I have obtained a director for this. As far as bringing together people to help one another I simply challenge folks to do so as it will change lives but at the same time prepare to be disappointed and when you are be prepared to be resilient.

Inclusion for instance is not so much about being nice but others not having an excuse that a cause was not nice. In the real world it is a nasty, mean and greedy reality. For inclusion be prepared to be smarter, more effective in business and nicer to break ground. It is not so much that people discriminate against people with developmental disabilities for instance it's just a world of the survival of the fittest and those attempting to survive need inclusion to benefit the survival instinct.

The important thing is that each person who is on the spectrum is asked what it is that they want. Some wish not to be cured and to be accepted. Some wish to be cured, I'm not one of them. There are many who would like to have a better job or a career. Some people on the spectrum might want to get married and have a family and they should do that. Other people on the spectrum don't want to be tied down by a traditional relationship with all the binary gender codes and rules. We each have our own wants and needs, and the public should be aware of that, instead of the things that they want to be aware of.
