You see that handsome red headed boy has Autism. He saw Trump make fun of a person with a disability on our television and it hurt his feelings because he identifies as an individual with a disability. I have raised him to know what Autism is and to be proud to be differently abled. Before we went in the polling place, I told him today I am picking a president that will be the best for your future, one that will make the world a better place for people with disabilities, not one who will promote hate and ridicule of those individuals. People with disabilities matter. Their vote matters. I also made him promise me to always research every candidate in any election and to use his vote to make his life and the lives of others with disabilities better, whoever that candidate may be, no matter what political party they may be in. The thing that matters most is how will they create a better life for you and those you love. That's what it should come down to-not red or blue. With my hand over his, pressing the buttons, we made history together. #DisabilityVotes
