A day program for adults with autism that presumes competence, focuses on strengths and provides job training, social life and employment.

By Gil I am very good advocating for other people. I was the key note speaker in a few conferences. It was in the dare to dream conferences. This is a special conference for people with disabilities. People with disabilities are special people and they have many abilities that can make them very successful in life. I spoke about how I overcome my disability and became a better person. I wanted to show them that it can e done even if you are disabled. A good advocate should be very open minded and strong personality. He or she should be able to articulate their ideas and believes. If you are good at advocating you may be invited to speak at a conference. You can also try to write blogs and reach many people over the internet. I feel good about being an advocate because I am helping others. If I can do it should be possible for other people to do it. As long as you work hard and believe in yourself you have a good chance to become successful in life.
