"I decided that I wanted to speak out about it. There is no point in sitting back. I'd rather stand up and make a difference," Ethan continued.His mother told Kate that it hadn't been an easy few years, but that her son makes her feel "so proud.""His autism and Asperger's aren't labels, but an explanation of what makes Ethan the boy he is.
