Guest column by Blake Mergler and Carla Hernandez | Response from Penn Speaks for Autism
(11/10/14 3:25am)
A s co-pr esidents of Penn Speaks for Autism , we recognize the importance of the discussion brought about in the recently published column by Xeno Washburne and Amber Blaylock. We sincerely appreciate that these two authors articulated their views about this controversial topic concerning the autistic community. Further, we would have gladly contributed our views on how PSFA supports Penn students with autism or those who wish to get involved in the autistic community if the current board was approached by the authors beforehand. However, on behalf of the dedicated general body members and executive board of PSFA, we would like to clarify our club’s overall mission to the community at Penn and in greater Philadelphia.
