Nat Speaks
Today, World Autism Acceptance Day 2015, my 25 year old son Nat who has fairly severe autism spoke at the Massachusetts State House. Right after Governor Baker (scroll down for link to pic of the Gov applauding Nat!) Here is the text of Nat’s speech, completely his own words, that he typed, and read today.

Congrats Nat!!!
Love love love this speech with all its spelling and the courage of reading it. And he looked so handsome!
I am beaming with pride for a job so well done.
How lucky am I to even know him through his beautiful mother.
Clearly these few meager words are not enough to describe this excellent accomplishment!
Excellent work, Nat.
I was very honored to share the stage with Nat and John. The speech great insight into Nat’s life.
Susan, just can’t say how how happy I am for Nat. I couldn’t be any more proud if this were my own son. Congratulations to both you and Nat, and may God continue to bless your wonderful family.
