We are thrilled to announce that AUSOM Board Member Matthew Plantz has been selected as the 2024 David Joyce Self-Advocate of the Year by the Autism Society of America! This annual national recognition is a tribute to Autistic individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to enhancing the well-being of others within the Autism community. Shown below are photos from the virtual presentation on November 13th by the Joyce Family and ASA President Chris Banks. Joining in the celebration were Matt’s friends and family.
Matthew continues to forge ahead and live his life to the utmost. For all his own challenges, no one is more concerned and empathetic about someone else’s struggles than Matt. His capacity to make the world a better place for others knows no bounds. Please join us in congratulating Matthew on this outstanding achievement!
