Anyone who is in a position of authority with an autistic-run self-advocacy organization.
I just read this blog post:
http://www.autismlearningfelt.com/2009/06/mark-paul-gosselaar-interview.html
Here's the pertinent quote:
When I had a chance to ask Mark-Paul Gosselaar a question, most of my questions had already been asked. My son had given me a question to ask him, so I did. His question was “Do you know anyone with Autism and do you do anything to support Autism?”
Mark answered that “I think chances are pretty good that you know someone with Autism. We do.” He started to say more, but caught himself. I could tell he didn’t want to publicize the person he was referring to. I was fine with that. He also explained that he does a lot to support pediatric organizations and would “like to donate my time and resources to the cause.” Well, he stated this knowing it would be put on my blog. So, Autism Speaks or National Autism Society of America, here you go. If you don’t ask, I’m sure someone else will.
Sounds like he might be ripe for the picking. Autistic-run organizations might like to contact him first, if possible.
(Mark-Paul Gosselaar was Zach on Saved By the Bell.)
