Timothy Welsh advocates for all the issues impacting families with autism and he ranks vaccine safety as about #25 in importance on his list of issues he is concerned about. He is also concerned with unity among the autism community in order to tackle the issues that there is common agreement on such as the need for gainful employment for adults with autism.
