Civil Rights

Trey What civil rights mean to me is fighting for equality and freedom against hate, anger, racism, discrimination, sexism, violence and other circumstances. The most important civil rights for people with autism is bringing awareness about it. If they bring awareness, it’ll be easier for them to make friends and other people who are not on the spectrum will get a chance to learn and understand it. I can advocate for civil rights for myself and other people with autism by showing my blogs and showing videos that are related to autism. One of the classes in %COMPANY% where we practice expressing ourselves is Advocacy. In that class, I practice the skills of sharing my emotions.
