How many of us have heard it before? You know if you just spanked, not gotten those shots, not yelled, yelled more, made him eat more, locked up the food, or my all-time favorite, “He’s just a little boy. If you just stopped hovering around him he would grow out of ‘it.’”

Reauthorize the Rehab Act 2013 Protest SignThe Rehabilitation Act is a top priority for NCIL because the legislation mandates how Centers for Independent Living (CILs) and Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs) operate. Although the Act has not been reauthorized since 1998, disability and Independent Living advocates have worked tirelessly with legislators to strengthen and update the language to make significant changes to the Independent Living program, including the creation of an Independent Living Administration (ILA).

Online Dating, on the Autism Spectrum



Dating poses the same basic challenge for everyone: trusting someone else.

Online dating can be an easier route for those who have trouble initiating conversation.

He logs onto the dating site OkCupid and begins answering some questions.
“What are you looking for?” the site asks.
“Someone to go out with,” he says to himself as he types each letter with undivided concentration.
“How do you feel about falling in love?”
“I like to just let it happen.”

For people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, online dating is an alternative to picking up people at bars or parties and risking potential in-person rejection.

“I’m researching girls,” he says, scrolling through rows and rows of women. Finally, he sends a message to a girl who catches his eye.
“Hello, my name is Hussein.”
“How is life?”
All of Hussein’s messages say the same thing. While they are friendly, they show little to no personalization, a common pitfall when fishing for responses.
Hussein knows that because of his brutal honesty, he is often unable to process why anyone else would be dishonest. But building relationships online can be an important way for people on the spectrum to build up to in-person relationships by getting to know someone before anything progresses.
