The Beauty of Love (ePub)

Doris Washington is a spiritual writer, author, poet, and disability advocate who resides in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with her husband and son, John. Doris takes the inspiration for her poetry from an unfortunate incident involving her eighteen-year-old son with autism and two police officers in December1993. Her son was peeking in a window of his own home when two officers approached him. The two officers held her son on the ground with handcuffs, and he suffered a separated shoulder. The two officers were not aware of her son's disability. This unfortunate incident impacted Doris's life greatly. She was empowered to advocate for a statewide training program for police officers to be aware of and recognize persons with special needs.
