I Have a Dream . . .

I have a dream that people with autism will be accepted and loved for who they are and not for who they are not.

I have a dream that people with autism are loved as themselves, not to be 'fixed' or 'cured.'

I have a dream that people with autism will have real jobs with real money, not sheltered workshops.

I have a dream that people with autism will be treated with respect when it comes to employment and not prejudice and discrimination.

I have a dream that people with autism will be expected to learn in the classroom like any other student, but in their own ways.

I have a dream that all of God's children can live together with respect and dignity for all.
