Ari Ne’eman keeps a copy of the U.S. Constitution folded in his wallet. It’s a constant reminder that his "war" — his advocacy and activism on behalf of people with autism — is worth fighting, even if it engenders controversy and the occasional death threat.
Today, after a swift and sometimes bumpy ascent in the realm of national autism politics, he is the first person with autism to be nominated for a seat on the National Council on Disability. If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, he also will be the youngest person to serve on the board in at least 20 years, council spokesman Mark Quigley said.
