I have included an inspirational story of an autistic boy and his journey as he set out to make a difference by helping his classmates better understand his diagnosis.  

12-year-old Laque Youngblood, a boy with autism decided to combat bullying in his school by sharing information about autism with his classmates so they understood the disorder. In this inspiring blog Laque writes, "My classmates basically felt I was “not equal” to them, weird or an outsider, whatever that means. So I decided to teach them about autism. I was hoping they would understand something from MY perspective. Some classmates were now able to see me as a kid – just like them." Read more of his blog here.
