5 Questions with Alexis Wineman Miss Americas First Autistic Contestant

12 Feb 2013A friend of mine led me to this article: http://style.time.com/2013/01/11/5-questions-with-alexis-wineman-miss-americas-first-autistic-contestant/

Alex is a great ambassador for people with Autism who give life a go! It is such a great opportunity for people to see Alexis as a Miss America contestant as she breaks down the misconceptions of disability and Autism.

Alex shows that a label doesn't define who you are as a person. You can still aim high and achieve!

Nothing is impossible regardless of what your disability is.
