✨More Than a Month - Continuing Awareness and Acceptance Beyond April✨: This April, members of SARRC’s Self-Advocate Advisory Board (SAAB) are sharing what it really means to be an adult on the autism spectrum.

Joe Bradley! 🥳 Joe is an accomplished artist on the autism spectrum and a founding member of SARRC’s SAAB. He is currently the Director of Marketing Partnerships at Cardone Ventures and is the artist behind Arizona’s first specialty autism license plate: “Driving Support for Autism” 😎🚙 Read Joe’s full Q&A at https://lnkd.in/emPSKqQC 💜
