Today it's story time. I share a recent experience my family and I had in my local community, specifically in response to my brothers who are adults on the autism spectrum.

In comparison to other experiences that we (and others' of course) have had, it's nowhere near how disappointing and devastating community's reactions can be to those on the autism spectrum. But it's still eye-opening and worth sharing, especially with it being April and Autism Awareness Month. 

We still have a long way to go with awareness, understanding, and acceptance. But I think we'll get there through conversations and continued experiences out in the community. 

From here, I'm curious in what ways you have handled, managed, and/or navigated such negative experiences in your community? Let me know - you can send me an email at [email protected] or find me online and send me a message. 

In terms of action steps, stay tuned for Thursday, where I share ways we can shift from Autism Awareness (and increase it of course) to acceptance.

I'm so excited to share some updates and let you know what you can expect from the podcast in the future...in short: it's gonna be fun!

Our new release schedule will be:
Tuesdays -- Current topics + events + interviews
Thursdays -- From the blog

It's Autism Awareness Month! But for many reasons (and many great reasons), there's a lot of topics to bring to the table when we celebrate this month.

One topic I feel gets overlooked pretty often is adulthood and what autism in adulthood currently looks like for the community.

There's so much to do in this area, and given the awareness it so desperately needs, we can get empowered as a community and work together to promote more opportunities,  pave the way for success, and create meaningful and fulfilled lives with the autistic adults whom we love and work with.
