My Personal Mission Statement
(what my life's purpose is)
To make personal connections with all people, that I might educate them about autism; and to make personal connections with autistic individuals and their families, that I might impart knowledge and ability to live independent lives... so that society may become more accepting and supportive of autistic individuals.
What this will look like in action, I do not know.
May my steps be guided by Christ, who went before me and has been leading me to this realization.
May my life uphold the values here stated, and in so doing may I fulfill my stated mission.
May everything I do in pursuit of this mission be to the glory of God the Father, that He might become known through me and His purposes be fulfilled in the lives of those to whom I minister.
