What I mean when I say I will inspire autistic individuals and those who love them is that I aim to offer help and hope to everyone seeking a deeper understanding of the autism spectrum.

My focus is on understanding the factors that impact the well-being of autistic and other neurodivergent people across the lifespan. This includes areas such as interpersonal relationships, victimization, social identity, stigma, and increasing accessibility for neurodivergent individuals in higher education.

Autism is a significant part of my life, but it is not the only part. I want to reflect that, as people have said, “When I listen to your son, his communication is like a relay race, and he struggles with social connections. His balance is like a symphony out of tune.” It’s important to note that it is not his fault he is struggling with autism.
