I, Timothy Rohrer, am a young adult with autism and the creator of Tips4Inclusion. I have created an empire of original resources about disabilities, friendship, acceptance and inclusion. I present my work at schools and conferences and even made my way to the top speaking to the NJ Department of Education.
