In Annie's Voice: Family Photo
http://inanniesvoice.blogspot.com/2009/09/family-photo.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. I thought I'd share a photograph of me spending time with my younger twin siblings, Zack and Sophie. They are 18 years old. Zack has autism. He lives at home with my mom and dad, and attends a county public school during the day, like I did until I was 19. Zack is very friendly, an avid outdoorsman, and he's an expert at 1,000 piece puzzles. Zack is always looking after me. I love my little brother and sister very much and I can't wait to spend time with them both this weekend.

http://inanniesvoice.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-can-i-help.html
Saturday, September 26, 2009. How Can I Help? Please contact our NJ elected officials and let them know that it's not ok to terminate enriching, community-based services for me and other disabled young adults at 21, forcing us to choose between spending the rest of our lives in inadequate hospital-like institutions or back at home without the therapies and socialization that we need. My parents have reached out to all these people, and you can too. Governor of New Jersey, Jon Corzine. Posted by Richie Jay.

In Annie's Voice: Just Another Day
http://inanniesvoice.blogspot.com/2009/09/just-another-day.html
Thursday, September 24, 2009. I spent another day with nothing to do, no place to go and little to occupy my time and my mind. My spirit continues to sag as I wait hour after hour and day after day for someone to pay attention. My parents are mad at those who continue to ignore me. I listen as my mom, dad, and their friends speak of their frustration and anger. They question why the politicians, who you would think should come to my rescue, fail to respond to their phone calls, emails and letters. Annie,...
