I'm looking into different parts of Autism Speaks. There's a lot of focus on the first, early diagnosis of younger kids, which is amazing, but I'm wondering, what about these older kids? What happens with them? So I would like to try to find something that fits that.
Jacquelyn JablonskiMy brother was diagnosed with autism, so it's something that hits close to home. And as I got older - especially when I started modeling and being in the city - I wanted to do help. I became involved with Autism Speaks.
Jacquelyn JablonskiBefore I started modeling, I had never been out of the country, and now I feel like I'm out of the country at least a few times a month, if not once a week.
Jacquelyn JablonskiIm boyish with a feminine twist. I definitely gravitate toward oversized things like shirts and jackets. I like a good trouser, but then I might mix it up with something more feminine, like a pointy boot or pumps.
Jacquelyn JablonskiI'm actually working on with Autism Speaks. Since my brother's 18, I wanted to work on a program for these older kids. A lot of the schools' special education programs end when the kids are 21, like my brother's school. What is next for these kids? I want him to be constantly active, and not just sitting at home. I want him to be constantly growing and it would be amazing if the funds could go to something like jobs for these kids, or a home where they can be together.
