Remembering The Reason

I decided to post this after seeing it again for the first time in three years. It was a lecture I gave at M.I.T.
Sometimes its good to remember why we started something, measure how far we’ve come, and plan what still needs to be done. Seven thousand registered members later to The Autism Acceptance Project (www.taaproject.com), and a monthly newsletter, we want to continue to achieve greater understanding about autism.
I’ve got some of my own answers to the following questions, and I’ve certainly learned a lot more since giving those talks. But I want to ask you:
How far do you think we’ve come since 2006? What would be a main point or goal you think we need to achieve in the next two years?

Thank you Estée for “The Autism Acceptance Project”, I have discover it this year, so I can’t see very well how far it has come since 2006 but it is very important to me to know it does exist, maybe a good thing to do in the next two years would be to develop it in non-english speaking countries like France and Switzerland (?) I hope it will be possible.
but again thank you for the Autism Acceptance Project!
