Inside My Infinite Possibilities in Denton, a care facility for developmentally disabled, Artez Carmichael (pictured, foreground) shines. For his father, Brent Carmichael (pictured, background), watching his 26-year-old son grow into his independence from the dark, lonely world of autism, fills him with pride. However the father fears the possible outcome if his son and police come to face to face. He wants cities across North Texas to implement a decal program that will help officers, firefighters and paramedics realize when they encounter an autistic child or adult in the field.
