"I didn't realize we would feel like a family."
'After going through orientation and the support from the team at the airport, I feel that it's a family and that we share the same vision and have love for the autism community and everyone involved. '
"It was exactly what I needed."
'Trust the process was really hard to hear during the process. But I didn't need the information, I was just ready to know how it would go... It was an awesome, challenging experience.'
"I'm now standing up for what I want."
'I started to ask myself, how much more I am capable of than what I am allowing myself to do? I came home ready to start the business I've been telling myself I'm not ready for... now I am.'
"Everything I do with GAP strengthens my sense of self and makes me feel more at ease with my differences, knowing everyone has some."
As an autistic self-advocate, passionate about bringing my experience to other people, living in a highly diverse city, and finding some of my greatest joy in traveling, I’ve found no other organization that unites these special interests and the skills I have like Global Autism Project. Their commitment to autistic representation in projects as well as outreach makes them live up to their name.
