This can't continue to be what we expect in America! We are all human beings, and lord knows our children deserve better.
I am a single mom raising a son with autism. 21 years ago, I read "Autism: a permanent developmental disability requiring lifelong care for which there is no known cause or cure". In that moment my world shifted. Today more than 3.5 million readers have shared in our journey through this blog as I have detailed our 21-year journey of grief, joy, disappointments, successes, lessons, strategies, personal challenges, frustrations, fears all as they unfolded- day by day.

Police and Autism a Dangerous Mix - Police Assault A Father for Trying to Explain his Son's Diagnosis
Unchecked police are a danger not just to people of color, but to everyone. We have to find a system that protects both the police and the people they "Serve". A system that protects us and the police who are in the right, while holding the bad cops fully accountable. In the area's where all officers are required to wear a video camera around their necks when on duty the abuse statistics have dropped. The camera's are said to cost $100.00 to $400 a piece. Seems to me this is a good place to start, it's affordable and forces some degree of accountability.
