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.

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.
