     The goal of my Capstone project is to raise awareness about Autism to provide a better understanding in hopes of lowering the chances of person with Autism being bullied. A community, in my humble opinion, should always try to be better as a whole. The best way to be a happy community is to be able to understand and communicate with each other. According to my research many teens with Autism have anxiety, are depressed etc. and most of the time it is because people don't understand their situation which can get in the way of their happiness. As a community one must learn to understand so I'd like to create a kit and workshop to teach children between the age of 6-12 about Autism. The kit will included hands on ways of having the children understand a person with Autism. If for some reason the school does not have time to hold the workshop, they can have the kit in their classrooms. I'd like to become a Rehabilitation Counselor and would like to focus on people with disabilities. In my project I will teach to have the students learn which will lead to, as my focus states, a better more understanding community. This goes in accordance with the Richland triple bottom line.
