Eu tinha 23 anos e precisava de um trabalho de verão. Ele tinha 21 e precisava de ajuda em tempo integral. Ele é uma das aproximadamente 500 mil pessoas que possuem autismo e estão às vésperas da vida adulta – e a sociedade não está preparada para isso.
I was 23 and needed a summer job; he was 21 and needed full-time support. He's one of an estimated half million children diagnosed with autism who are soon becoming adults — and who society is entirely unprepared for.
