Abstract | This article describes Sarah, a young woman with autism from Frederick, Maryland, who made a choice to forgo traditional employment options for people with disabilities and to pursue the seemingly improbable option of becoming an author. Becoming a successful writer can be a dubious prospect for people without disabilities. And yet with talent, passion, and collaboration, Sarah, 24, has managed to pave a way for herself as a poet, essayist, children's author, and advocate. She has been profiled in print and on TV and is the recipient of advocacy awards. Bringing her autism with her has been key to Sarah's hopes and dreams becoming reality. Embracing it. Not hiding it. Not being ashamed of it. Realizing that success can be found within her autism. (ERIC). |
