I should maybe start by saying that I don't have any neurological differences to talk about myself. Or at least, not anything that's been clinically diagnosed. My sister, on the other hand, is on the autism spectrum. My experiences with her have really shaped my view on the 'disabled' community in general, especially the stigma that is attached to so many of these labels and the struggles that result.

Long story short, this is an issue I am extremely passionate about. And while I wholeheartedly believe in self advocacy, I know that sometimes advocacy has to step up another level. I recently graduated with my BA and I would love to turn this passion into a career, either in a field that would at least vaguely allow me to do advocacy work or educate the public, as I also feel that spreading understanding decreases stigma. Doesn't have to be autism-related, just should hit the broad category of 'disabilities.' I don't care too much about making money, save for enough to be decently stable (by which we're talking small apartment in a safe area of town) and I'm not afraid of graduate school/further training, either.

The trouble is, I'm having trouble coming up with ideas on careers that will let me do any of this, even if only as a small part of my job.

Ideas?
