Every time I write a story about autism that tells personal MyWegmansConnect stories about my son, many people thank me for sharing the challenges our family faces every day. As a result, I also receive hateful comments from people who express very hurtful thoughts about me and my son.

Jet Blue recently launched the Blue Horizons for Autism campaign, a program where airport employees learn how to make the travel experience easier for families with autistic children.

Experience.
When I see that someone is being bullied for lack of sensitivity, I want to report it so that we can all learn from it.
When we celebrate World Quality Day today, we must remember that it is everyone’s responsibility to love, understand, and learn from each other.
