Nightengale writes "Writing the Brochure I Want to Read in the World" at NIGHTENGALESKND.
I want a brochure I can hand families of newly diagnosed autistic
children. Something readable, 3-4 pages, giving accurate information

To raising Autism awareness and Acceptance, and battling negative stereotypes about Autism. To advocate for the inclusion of Autistic people in the community. To offer a forum to broadcast our stories and thoughts, and to help the messages of Autistic people and non-Austistic allies reach as many people as possible.
