From Gayle Fitzpatrick

I am writing you in regards to the

recent news and media coverage of the " Autism Epidemic " . As an

educator of 25 years and as an Information specialist for the Autism

Society of Maine, I applaud the dissemination of information and

education to the public about Autism. As a parent of two children with

Asperger's Syndrome, I wish to bring the following quote to your

attention:

" The highest result of education is tolerance. " - Helen

Keller

This quote introduces our Appellate Brief to the Supreme Court of Maine,

CUM-04-569, filed on March 2, 2005, which requests that State and Federal

Laws be applied equally to Autistic individuals.

I request that you read the brief because my son's experience mirrors

that which so many Autistic individuals in America encounter, silently.

It is for this silent " Epidemic of Discrimination " that we file

this Brief. I, and many others, encourage you to report on this most

devastating epidemic.

Appellate Brief CUM-04-569 was posted

http://www.neurodiversity.com/falmouth_appellate_brief.html

this week.

Oral Argument will be heard in May, June 2005.

Sincerely,

Gayle Fitzpatrick
