Last year I attended the Annual Law Summit presented by Autism Speaks. It was my first time in the nation’s capital. There was one place I knew I had to go while I was there... the Lincoln Memorial.
Not only did I want to go because of what Lincoln had
accomplished or because of his ties to my home state. I wanted to stand in the
place where the greatest speech on equality was ever given. Not just to honor
the work and legacy of Dr. King but to invigorate my own personal battle for
equality within our healthcare system and to end clear discrimination that
autistic people face when it comes to health insurance coverage.
