"I have watched Mark grow in knowledge, commitment, and confidence as an ambassador for persons with disabilities, especially those with alternative means of communication. He has been a featured presenter at local, state, and national functions sharing his struggles and successes and the need to persevere.":: Chris Minnich, former MH Director of Northumberland County Human Services
"The best gift I can receive from another is that that person presents me to me. I certainly know myself better for knowing Mark Reeves. Mark often says 'Mark Reeves, don't forget that name' but more importantly he invites me to remember who I am.":: Michael Dowling, Herb Lovett Memorial Fund
"Mark turns belief systems upside down and inside out. He forces you to examine all your unspoken thoughts and to put words to the un-named information that we all carry around with us... the stuff that keeps people segregated and devalued. The issues between you no longer reside in him, but in YOU and your perceptions of him. It is a gift that he brings you...a chance to expand your thinking. Take it.":: Mary Lapos, former President of FS, Inc.
"I never knew Mark Reeves as a retarded boy. He's always been my exceptional brother, the one who knew me best. His spirit is strong, surprising because of decades of doubt he had endured -- labeled 'retarded.' He is developing as a leader who the so-called 'normal' community will have to reason with. He will not be dismissed, nor silenced, nor ignored. Mark Reeves is a force of his own, and the sooner the rest of the world acknowledges him the better. His message rings true for every person on the earth. Different is not bad, and normal has many faces...":: Lydia Reeves, Sister and Producer, NBC-TV 10 Philadelphia.
"In the many years I have known Mark Reeves, I have always found him to be a man of his word; someone passionate about self-advocacy and committed to educating others about life on the autism spectrum. My personal and professional relationship with Mark has been an enriching and enlightening experience, and I advise anyone wishing to learn about autism to avail themselves of Mark's services.":: William Stillman, author of Demystifying the Autistic Experience and Autism and the God Connection
"Mark and I began to use facilitated communication around the same time. Our friendship as comrads did form a foundation and solid friendship from there. I founded The Lonesome Doves and Mark was the first member. He is a loving and caring soul with an end all sense of humor. Before we moved to New York, Mark and I had great times together. You are a awesome young man, Mark, and I wish you well.":: Love Jenn
