My former editor and good friend, Annette Fuller, wrote this installment for autism awareness in the Winston-Salem Journal.

That a father would start a company in order to serve his son is no surprise to me. The folks over at nonPareil did the same.

But I was surprised at one statistic he shared with Annette: those of us without disabilities have more than 150 people in our support network. People with disabilities have 10 — and that is the challenge to the rest of us. Are you part of that network for someone with a disability? Maybe you should be.
