Our guest, Gina Mitchell, a teacher, author, and advocate, shares her insights on autism's spectrum and its broader societal implications. Gina's son, Sam, diagnosed with autism at four, has transformed his challenges into strengths through his nonprofit, Autism Rocks and Rolls, and his podcast. From motivational speaking to creating educational modules with Dr. Temple Grandin, Sam's journey is nothing short of inspiring.
We delve into the stigmas around autism, the importance of kindness, and how parents can be better role models. Gina also discusses the difficulties and rewards of running a nonprofit, emphasizing the necessity of passion and dedication.
