This day 10 years ago we launched AsIAm - it’s been quite the journey so far but we aren’t looking back but forward. In the decade ahead we - must do so much more to fight the invisible barriers our community faces so that every Autistic person has the #SameChance .

The people of Baltimore can count on us to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopened and Francis Scott Key Bridge is rebuilt.
