Debra Vines, Hero!


It's Autism Awareness Month, and Hero Debra Vines is working hard for the cause. Her organization, The Answer Inc., provides support, services, and education for Black and Brown families in the Chicago area who are impacted by autism. Vines’ 35-year-old son, Jason, has autism, and she knows first-hand the everyday struggles that families face. For Vines, Autism Awareness Month helps her advocate for families who are unsure what to do after receiving an autism diagnosis. She urges them to stay strong through challenges and frustrations, because the autism journey is rarely a straight line. “I encourage families every single day not to give up because you never know when that light bulb is just gonna go off," she says. So far, her nonprofit has helped more than 4,000 families in under served communities.
