The answer from the poll I put was:
I would like to be in the media and other mediums to talk about autism advocacy

I actually do talk about autism advocacy publicly---more on how autism has worked in my life---but that it affects each person on the autism spectrum differently.

Good.

Look forward to a post titled "The Autism Advocacy Pledge - Beyond Self-Advocacy Representation".

I'll look for your post this fall as I am getting ready to take my annual break from WrongPlanet. All I will do here when I take my break is check for messages and do a few of the games---unless I find myself motivated to post on the sites. I've actually not been doing much posting around here anyway except to play the games---kind of bored with WrongPlanet at the moment. And that's when it's time to take my break.

An advocate of the facts.

I found this song in my research last night. It is angry but the modality is compatible of the "change" premise.
