One of the kindest and most knowledgeable allies of autistic people we've ever had fighting for us. What a tremendous loss to the community. May his memory be a blessing.

Thank you Steve for what you did for the neurodivergent community. Sadly I only knew you as an author, something that you were truly amazing at , but after reading what those who knew you are saying., you were far more than that amazing author who turned his skills to help others. You were truly an amazing person. Who made the most amazing impact on who ever you met.
Thank You Steve
