This Disability Pride Month comes at a difficult time for our community and the broader population. As we watch what is happening to special education, Medicaid, SNAP, safety nets that ensure Autistic and other neurodivergent people, it be can hard to feel pride in our disability

But it is important we try so that as things change and move back down to community level there is something for all of us. We invite you, if you can, to donate to FDM as we continue to pursue this. If successful, we will provide you all with updates and what we have laid out.
