Elizabeth and Ginnie pose with 16 people, including Speaker Daniel Perez, standing and kneeling inside a hallway that reads “House of Representatives” with its logo in the background. 9 of the people are holding up large printed photos of other people, ranging in ages, gender expressions, and skin tones.

Elizabeth poses in a government building hall with fellow Autism Society of Florida (ASF) board members Barbara Beasley, her daughter Emily, Alexsis Ferguson, and Rachel Arazashvili. They stand behind a table with a teal Autism Society of Florida tablecloth and many paper advocacy materials on it. Everyone is wearing business clothing, and almost everyone is wearing ASF pins. Elizabeth holds her iPad.

Elizabeth Bonker, a young white woman with long brown hair half-up half-down, stands outside the front of the Florida Capitol Building, which has marble-colored Roman-style architecture such as columns and a staircase. Elizabeth is holding her iPad and wearing a red, white, and black checkered blazer, black shirt, black pants, and an Autism Society of Florida pin.

I had a fantastic Autism Day at the Capitol in Tallahassee with my Autism Society of Florida board members and allies. -Elizabeth
