Happy Thanksgiving!
This week I'm doing a cross promotion with my other podcast, Neuroversity and featuring a very special episode.

Join me as I have a conversation with the most important autistic voice you will ever hear on this podcast, my daughter Grace. 

This is not an inspirational story. 
This is not a sad story. 
This is Grace's story.   
How she remembers finding out she's autistic.   
How she sees herself as a neurodivergent teenager.  How she feels about this podcast, and what she is looking forward to in her future. 

One story. 
One autistic experience. 
And I've never been more proud to put it out into the world.  Because one story can change everything.  Just like she has forever changed me.

About the Guest:
Grace Kidwell is a 15 year old freshman from Alexandria, VA.  She is a member of her school dance team, loves to read, wishes she could travel more, and adores her dog Derby. 

Follow Neuroversity for more content focused on elevating neurodivergent voices and experiences.
