Good read about the first openly autistic person to practice law in my home state of Florida. The message of inclusion is so strong here; find a person’s strengths, encourage them, and watch them shine. 🙂
Woman is 1st openly autistic person to practice law in Florida
What was most interesting (and frustrating) about the article was how quickly it switched from her to people talking about her, more or less as an abstraction. By about the third paragraph, it was all about her employer patting himself on the back.
Once again, silenced, while others speak for and over the autistic person.

I agree that this was a huge drawback to the article. What would’ve been far more amazing would be to have her write her own editorial about it.
