Kristina Chew is something like our local celebrity here at b5media’s Health & Wellness Channel. Just last June she appeared on Good Morning America to talk about autism, research for “cures,” and acceptance, and now, she’s landed herself right smack in the middle of a Newsweek interview – discussing John McCain’s stance on autism, no less.
I am so envious proud of her (OK, yes, I’m envious too!) – Kristina is a true advocate who gets her voice heard!

Kristina is well regarded in the autistic self advocacy community as well. That’s a pretty great honor because we are hard to impress.
Haha, well that’s good to hear. It’s very clear she has guts and that’s a must-have for all advocates of any issue.
