Better Services and better school setting for young people with Aspergers/Autism. As a parent, I am tired of being ignored or rejected.
Why is this important?
I am a single mother who is raising a son who has aspergers and autism spectrum. I am a parent who wants to work while he is in school. I cannot find any employment with flexible hours. My child who wants to be in an intergrated classroom setting, but couldn't. No one in the schools, churches, family, or public services are willing to work with him. Many parents and I are feeling discriminated. There are some situations that can be overwhelming for a single parent or two parent families. We are asking people in the community to get help our children and to save our children. Those people have been ignored. That's exactly what happened to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. I think about my son so much. I believe in the old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child". People are ignore that stategy. Just like what our former president, George W. Bush stated, "No child left behind".
