I have refused to compromise on my autonomy. I choose to fight every day for the life that I have built in Minnesota. It has been a choice to embrace and love my existence as a disabled person, exactly as is.
Parents recognized that their children were displaying behavioral problems at school, but not at home. I realized there was a problem bigger than they even knew.
The more people with disabilities like myself can tell our stories and be involved publicly, the better off we will be at the end of this legislative session.
