#StoriesFromTheFringeOnTNC #TheNewChannel | Richard Schreiber is an Autism Community Activist and Technology Innovator based in New York City, United States. Four years ago at her graduation day for elementary school, his daughter, who has Asperger's, was in tears. He noticed she wasn't talking to anyone, including her teachers. "Daddy, for six years nobody wanted to be my friend," she said when he inquired what was wrong. That struck him to the core and he realized he needed to be more than he was for her, and become a true advocate for his daughter and other parents with children on the Autism spectrum, as well as other young adults who are excluded, marginalized and judged.
His goal is to create future leaders who embrace diversity, inclusion and equality and who set the bar high for thought leadership to make the world a safer, better place.
