The current reigning “2017 Mrs. Minnesota is Stephanie Welter of Shakopee, Minn. Traveling all across the state, Stephanie speaks on her platform “Understanding the puzzle of Autism.” “‘What’s wrong with HIM?’ the little girl asked as she pointed to my special needs son, Benjamin. As a parent, you never truly get used to the stares, giggles, and comments about your child, but I have chosen to use it as an opportunity to educate and inspire. As a 17-year autism advocate, I help those with autism turn their challenges into victories. Therapy, training, and community awareness help integrate these individuals so we can All start to understand the puzzle of autism. I believe everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential!” For more information go to: www.autism-society.org.
