Don and his all-volunteer nonprofit are leading a movement to shift how we understand autism. Through two-hour Discussion Sessions, they’ve reached 175 educators, first responders, and community leaders—with more sessions coming to NY, NC, and CA.
Don, continuing the legacy of his brother Gary—a global autism expert—believes, “We do it because we can, and because it’s right.”
One workshop changed Connor Newcombe’s life. A college graduate with autism, he shared his story, received a standing ovation, and later revealed his gift for poetry. Inspired, he committed to writing 101 poems—one every day.
Together, they’re proving that with the right support, every voice can be heard.
