We students with developmental disabilities are real people who wish to be good citizens.

Gallery event
“Ramps Over Fear” Exhibit at Villa Julie College debuted my first book and displayed my writings, John Hess’s photographs and the illustrations of Matt Starchak and Libby Sanders. Organizer: Kevin Walla.
To be placed on a gallery wall is like parting a shell long enough for the normal world to see another world that longs to find peace.

My writing place
A place I love to write is my cozy kitchen booth. I know its sights and sounds well so autism can rest there.
My incubator hatches papers
that sing and roar and wave to you.
A birthing nook.
A kitchen booth.
A typing place.
Mine.
My cat
Callie, our fat cat, loves her home as we all do. She is our dear pet.
People who help
First book, first team: Aaron Stephens of The Arc of Frederick County, Maryland (writing mentor); Beth Mende Conny (editorial consultant); Kevin Walla (job coach and gallery coordinator)
Working with Heather Moreno
Self-employment has led to good friends who help me. Before, only my family helped me, but now others know me and work with me to get better lives for those with developmental disabilities.
Sister
My older sister, Janna, and I
Belonging to a family is like being part of God’s kingdom.
Vacationing
Dad and I on the Boardwalk in Ocean City, MD.
A special time is when I visit the ocean where waves toss normality away and only spirit counts.
Out in the community
In my favorite coffee shop.
People without disabilities need to interact with us regularly to view us favorably.
Reflecting
Enjoying my creek walk.
God opens doors for my words and nature beckons them.
