Autistic Reality

(upbeat music) ALEC FRAZIER [00:00:00] Hello and welcome to the Autistic Reality Podcast. Here at Autistic Reality, we believe in three levels of identity. We believe that we are all human, traveling on our journey together, and that we have much more in common than what sets us apart. We believe that we are all individuals with richly unique experiences, and finally, we believe in the importance of all other identities, whether they be gender, race, sexual orientation, ability, faith, and much, much more. Join us on this wonderful journey as we interview key players and discuss important topics. We hope this journey will be informative and fun. We are ready, nothing about us without us. So welcome everyone to this disability rights tour of the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC. I’m here with Jim Dickson, and Jim Dickson, what is your role with the memorial? JIM DICKSON [00:01:14] I was part of the leadership team that fought to have a statue of FDR in his wheelchair added to the Memorial
