I came home from China to some good news: on June 20th, the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed Ari Ne’eman to serve on the National Council on Disability (NCD) alongside President Obama’s seven other nominees.
Founder and President of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN), Ne’eman is the first person with autism to serve on the NCD. The Autistic Self Advocacy Network seeks to advance the principles of the disability rights movement in the world of autism, and Ne’eman is a good fit for the council.
