Q: When did you first decide to write a pamphlet? (Did you ever think that it would gain so much attention and help so many people?)

 

A: "I wrote my pamphlet in November 2018 after I graduated high school. I wrote it because I don't want people with disabilities to go through what I did in high school. I wanted to educate young children because they learn the most at a young age. I only thought my work would be seen locally but it turned out to be global."

​

Q: In your opinion, how can we, as a society, move forward from preconceived,

negative ideas surrounding those with ASD?

 

A: “We have to educate society and teach about social inclusion in classes and schools (I have started doing school assemblies and my work is being made in lesson plans for school)."

 

Q: What do you want to accomplish in the next few years?

 

A: “I hope to speak about social inclusion in many more schools to help promote social inclusion for people with disabilities to be with non-disabled peers."

 

Q: Who or what inspires you to spread the message of social inclusion?

 

A: “I've gone through social isolation in high school and I didn't want the isolation to apply to my life. I also didn't want other people with disabilities to go through the isolation I did."

 

Q: How did you create the disability inclusion flag?

 

A: “I got the idea from the LGBT flag and decided my own colors. Yellow means non-disabled people. Blue means people with disabilities. And green means the social inclusion of the 2 groups of people (Blue and yellow makes green)."
