Show Notes
Discover what’s possible when you’re true to yourself.
This week’s episode is a recording of one of our Global Autism Community exclusive events.
The topic of this round table discussion was Masking and Authenticity. Participating in this event were autism self-advocates Thomas Iland, Michael Gilberg, Terra Vance, Kate Jones, Jeff Snyder, and David Sharif, as well as community members Colleen Dorsey, Danielle Terrell, and Kia Burton.
