As an autistic Speech Pathologist, I am passionate about working with health professionals who are ready to begin their journey towards creating inclusion in our world.
When I was four, my younger brother was diagnosed with Autism, sparking a change in my life’s journey, but also change in my entire family’s journey.
What we didn't know, is that I am also Autistic. As I navigated my life, I experienced interests where my passion for that topic far surpassed that of my peers. I was treated poorly by people I called friends and I tried to hide my love for my interests.
Now, I fight for myself and others to feel comfortable expressing their love for their interests... and I want you to join me.
