I am contacting you on behalf of myself and Ben Pfingston, a fellow would-be autism advocate. We will be attending The Autistic Self Advocacy Network’s Autism Campus Inclusion Leadership Academy next week. In anticipation of this, we thought that a broader understanding of the attitudes and situations surrounding the state of autism rights and resources in Indiana would help us get the most out of this opportunity. Given your experience working with and for disabled individuals, I thought your insights would be worth seeking out.
We would appreciate it if you could take some time to fill out a short ‘Google Forms’ survey for us. If you know of anyone else (colleagues, students, family, friends, etc.) whose insights might be relevant to our purposes, we’d also appreciate it you could provide us with their contact info (with their permission) or share the survey directly with them yourself.
We will be using the responses to this survey to help us craft our future approaches to advocacy, including what questions to ask and concerns to raise when we meet with our congressional legislators in D.C. next week.
