Today, I got to be a guest speaker/motivator/juggler at a volunteer assembly! I'm willing to continue VOLUNTEERING to do these assemblies (offering at no charge and at my expense) in EVERY school, public and private in OC. Today, the teachers, principals, and tons of students thanked me and told me that my story was encouraging to them. That's all that matters in my heart - that students are motivated to continue no matter what life throws at them and to INCLUDE others, even if they seem different.
Once again, today was literally PHENOMENAL! I had this dream for years and it's coming to fruition!

I am a royalty-published author of the award-winning book, “Juggling the Issues: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome”, about a firsthand perspective on living with WHAT IS NOW REFERRED TO AS "Autism Spectrum Disorder." I have appeared in Newsweek, Spectrum News, ABC7 LA, Insider, Digital Journal, MarketWatch, iHeart, SiriusXM, and several dozens of other places.

If you have Autism, don't allow this label to knock you down to the ground! If I can stick to this life and have hope that I have a purpose, you can too! I never allowed my Autism to have the prerogative to slow me down, insofar of getting my first book published at the age of 23, an Associate of Science in Chemistry, a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, a full-math teaching credential from the State of California, piano player, juggler, speaker, professional RU-vidr, verified Instagrammer, follower by a million plus people, and more. If I can do that, then what's your excuse? Disability or not, ANYBODY can do whatever they set their heart and mind to do. Thank you for helping me be an encouragement and supporting families around the world with Autism!
In March 2023, the CDC said that the prevalence in 8-year-olds is now 1 in 36. I was called upon to speak for ABC7 Los Angeles, which can be watched here: • ON ABC7 LOS ANGELES NE...
I will not stop doing what I'm passionate of doing, and that is to give back and make sure that Every person - including Every child - in this country and in this world feel belonging, accepted, and acknowledge that they have a purpose in this life and a reason to live!
