Wari Allison

I Don’t Want Another Family to Lose a Child the Way We Did | The New York Times
Pamela Morris

Decorative image of "Frankie"That was Frankie. She had the strength to engage in school and in theater, despite her anxiety and depression. She had an ability to connect—emotionally, profoundly —with others, even when she was struggling herself. Her friends spoke to us of being caught off guard by her hugs or endearing comments. A teacher once described her as “empathy personified, with quite the fabulous earring collection.

Decorative image of open mouths talkingMore than 19 million Americans have a speech, language, or voice disorder, with about 3 million of those having a stutter. Most people who stutter begin doing so between the ages of 2 and 6, and 25 percent of them stutter for life. People who stutter can be mistaken as shy, nervous, or dishonest. They can be mocked, insulted, and even refused service. It is known to negatively affect employment.

Autism: awareness, acceptance, and the places in between | STAT
Isabel Alexander

Decorative image of a person at a laptopIn its efforts to rebrand April, currently designated as Autism Awareness Month, the Autism Society of America has announced its efforts to call it Autism Acceptance Month. This pivot recognizes that awareness is an important first step, but one that can get us only so far. The real mission should be to integrate people with autism into our social fabric, not just recognize that they exist.
