There are many kinds of advocacy in this world
including political parties, pro and against oil,
environmental and otherwise. C.I is a level headed
organization that does not seek confrontation or
creating division and sides with businesses or with
neighbors. I am sure the likes of that will attempt
provocation but the organizations responses will be
unique, creative and as much as possible humorous.
Being part of the community is important and part of
doing that is being neighborly and friendly whenever
humanly possible.
C.I exists to include and create opportunity for
individuals with autism and other kinds of
developmental disabilities that choose to be part of
the organization. This organization is not about
disability abortion politics, being mean or so much
about profiting. It’s intended to use funding to
create efficient, effective and note worthy
accomplishments for the benefit of participants.
With that said some thought I was getting rich as an
autism self-advocate and after 4-years I still do
not make a paycheck and participants make much more
then me.
As time goes on this organization thankfully will
depend much less on my participation. It’s been
entertaining, a life experience and in part
thrilling to lead it. However as time progresses
others will take the helm and my job will to be sure
this organization becomes what I envision it to
become. Not about salaries for helpers and corporate
leadership but accomplishing goals to change the
world in small ways step by step.
Sincerely,
Nathan Young
