Zach is the youngest the Beytien's three boys with autism, and the most severely impacted. Their story sheds light on how inadequate our systems are in protecting the well-being of those who need extra help to order to live a full life of inclusion within our communities. It was an honor to be entrusted with the telling of their story.

Andrew is only partially verbal, but he understands everything that is going on. He let me follow him around for a couple days so that I could get a glimpse into his life. At the beginning, he was a little unsure about me. But on our last day together he took my hand asked me if I when I would be coming back- I knew it was a moment acceptance and love. It was a privilege to meet Andrew.

I hope to share more on Andrew later on. He's got a wonderful family and great job with coworkers who value him. Still, lack of options place limits on the kind of life Andrew and others could live.

One of my recent projects allowed me to speak with and observe adults with autism as they were guided through the complexity of air travel. It was honestly such a treat to get to know Amelia, Layla, Rachel, and their parents/caregivers.

Autism is a life-long characteristic. There is no cure. 1/68 children today will be diagnosed on the spectrum. And we know that when provided with the right tools and the right environment, these individuals can and do thrive.

When we make the world a safe place for these humans, we make it a safer place for all humans. We need to dedicate more resources and more attention to this "invisible disability."

Its been just an incredible experience to be a part of the Madison Fields project. Here's a short video I created to celebrate the partnership with American Airlines.
