Description

Jeff Snyder is an autistic self-advocate, speaker, and is very active online sharing his work, insights, and experiences. He was diagnosed with autism at 21 months old and has accomplished so much in his life ranging from being the first student with autism to complete his education in his town's school district to getting his own apartment at age 25, plus working in the retail industry for 13 years.
Now as an autism self-advocate, he is looking to serve as an inspiration to others that were just like him once. He runs both a Facebook group and a Facebook page devoted to his advocacy and in addition, is also an avid traveler and a writer of fanfiction - which set him on his path to becoming more vocal and involved in the community online and doing presentations to share his experiences in special education and employment.

How do we prepare for and navigate adulthood? What are the resources out there that can help me? How can we all work together to promote the success of autistic people in the workplace, community, and at school? This podcast is an extension of the Autism Grown Up Resource Center for autistic adults, families, and professionals. Note that the needs of the autism community are HUGE and we are a small non-profit just getting started with resources. Not every episode may be for you and we aim to provide ideas and suggestions for individualization. Pick and choose what you need!
