Michelle Dawson -- Autism's Biggest Heroine
www.neurodiversity.com/dawson.html
Michelle Dawson is probably the person with autism I most admire for her strong and indefatigable efforts to stand up against discrimination against people with autism and most especially at the Canadian Supreme Court -- even in the face of the Justices not allowing her to address them herself personally, in her own words, and on her own terms. Michelle Dawson is the inspiration to us all that people with autism can and will bring change, and perhaps one day we will see a person with autism nominated and confirmed to the Supreme Court of a Nation.

Alonzo Clemons became a savant as a result of a head injury, and is among my very favorite of all savants for his love of horses and his competition efforts in the Special Olympics. I can only apsire to paint animals, and especially the world's most beautiful horses, as well as Alonzo Clemons sculpts them. His work brings pure enjoyment.
