Letter to the editor: Emerson will represent city’s neurodiversity on Charter Commission
Share
They say two heads are better than one, but maybe a diversity of brain types is even better.
At-large Charter Commission candidate Anthony Emerson was diagnosed with a mild form of autism at a young age. When we worked together last year, Anthony introduced me to the concept of neurodiversity: the growing awareness that autism, dyslexia and ADHD are not necessarily conditions to be treated, but rather different expressions of normal human brain types, with their own strengths and challenges, just like more typical ones.
Anthony often notices details others miss, and he helped me understand aspects of our community, and of myself, that I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. He is truthful and kind-hearted, and he has a great sense of humor.

PORTLAND The Police Citizen Review Subcommittee is pushing back against the city manager’s response to its request to seat two residents on the Portland Police Department’s internal use of force committee.
Subcommittee member Maria Testa said City Manager Jon Jennings’ response fails to fully address its recommendations and is far from what the subcommittee intended in its effort to bring better transparency to how Portland officers use force on the job.
