Dear Sir or Madame,
My name is Aida crosby, and I am a member if the Santa Clara County Mental Health Board. I have a child, 12, with autism. For the past 8 years, Our child and our family have been subject to severe discrimination at the hands of public schools, church members, and private individuals.
We have been trying very hard for the last five years to bring awareness to our church, county, city, neighborhood, and street of the need for individuals and institutions to meet the needs of families and individuals with autism. To our surprise, we find both lethargy and uncaring behavior from neurotypicals, and understanding and support by many, but they still have no clue or understanding with autism behaviors, social inadequacy, and mental disability when it is their turn to understand, help and accept.
As a results I became a member of the Santa Clara County Mental Health Board, only to discover that autism is not even considered a mental disability.
My family and I have been receiving anonymous hurtful, slandered letters, and attacked publicly in you tube, from our in inmidiate neighbors just because I have stand up to them asking to help me make the neighborhood safe from anything that can cause injuries to our autistic child. My oldest,15, is now suffering severe health problems as a result of their bulling, and verbal Abuse.

Please help me, I feel this is an important stepping stone to bring up changes to benefit autistic individuals and their families. The bulling from adults, and private individuals must stop. The lack of legal help must stop...the only way we can get services for our kids is thru lawyers...and many children and individuals are being left behind, ignored, abused, uneducated, and families are in the brink of suicide, or destruction of the family.

Most sincerely, and awaiting your response,

Aida t. Crosby
Protecting my adorable son Adrián Crosby
