    What if self advocacy is not an option?

    Hello, I'm inquiring about self-advocacy as it concerns adults with Aspergers. From my own experience, I've been able to self-advocate on many of the small concerns that appear from "time to time." Yet, my concern, (as is similar to neurotypicals (NTs)) are the larger (usually rare) concerns...
