My Vision
My Vision
As the sibling of a brother with special needs, I’ve always felt the importance of bringing a more diverse perspective to this community. While the special needs community has gained more visibility in recent years, I believe there is still a need for greater representation of the wide range of unique conditions people experience. When people learn about my brother, their first question is often, “Is he autistic?” Explaining his unique condition is challenging because most people have no frame of reference to truly understand. This is why I am passionate about raising awareness—not only about the different conditions that children with special needs may have, but also about the experiences their siblings go through.
