Discover the world through the eyes of Michelle Vinokurov, an empowering autistic self-advocate and behavior specialist, as she joins us to mark World Autism Awareness Day. Michelle's voice brings an unparalleled depth to our discussion, as she unveils her transformative experiences post-Purdue University Global and her trailblazing work in behavioral analysis. Her blog, The World of Autism, and contributions to the Flutie Foundation and CARD USF, are just a few facets of her dynamic advocacy that you'll get to know. Together, we peel back the layers of what it means to lead with authenticity in the neurodiverse community and the positive ripples that self-advocacy can create.

In the intricate dance of professional life, women with autism often choreograph their own unique movements to navigate their careers. Hear Michelle's personal strategies for self-advocacy in the workplace, from seeking visual aids to championing crystal-clear communication. The episode is not just a narrative; it's a toolkit for fostering an inclusive environment where women on the spectrum can flourish. Through blogs, podcasts, and heartfelt guest stories, we celebrate the power of shared experiences, and the episode culminates in exploring how these connections shape a more inclusive and understanding society for all. Michelle's journey and the broader conversation inspire a future where collaboration and support are the standards, not the exceptions, in advocating for individuals with autism.
