In another two months this part of my backyard will be a riot of color again, instead of browns and muted greens, everything looking locked down, huddled in from the often icy winter we've had here. I know other places routinely deal with much colder, snowier months (having lived in these places) and I'm grateful for the comparison. The snow always eventually melts, and spring arrives with a glorious display of color and life.
Everything cycles; contractions and hostilities wax and wane in the autism and disability community, and life moves forward. There is work to be done, people who need assistance.
There are a variety of ways in which we each can contribute to making the world a better place. Standing up to people who actively bully, belittle, and work to damage others is an important contribution, one not done often enough by enough people. Fighting woo and the people who profit off it is important.
Perhaps even more important are the direct acts that help those in need. Actually finding organizations who are helping the disabled with housing, with job training, with support and supporting those organizations is one way community members can help support others.
If you have those kinds of organizations in your area or know of national or international ones, please take some time this week to post it to our forum so that others will be able to access that information when they or someone they know is in need.
Or post the link below and one of the ladies of RFID will get it entered into the forum.
Thanks! :-)
