Public Speaking

My title presentation, What Driving Provided to Me: An Autistic Perspective on Driving has been presented to many organizations in the east coast states. It was even a keynote topic for Autism Connection's Conference in 2023. 

Partnership with The Next Street 

I partnered with The Next Street during my time working over at Planning Across the Spectrum. The partnership went from August 2020 to March 2021. It was through them that I did more presentations and had a hand in creating their "Driving with Autism Spectrum Disorders" program.  I did many roles that includes the following. 
  • Curriculum Developing
  • Video Creating
  • Blog Writing
  • Guide Writing in collaboration 
  • Social Media Outreach
  • Consulting families and individuals on driving

Driving with Autism 

I founded this ex-program back in 2021, which went for a year. I intended it to be a main resource on this topic and to be housed my eight-part webinar series that tackles driver readiness. While only its Instagram page exist and this was the program that had mixed results, I do not regret creating it. I only wished it had the creative spark and personal control from before as this was a program that needed more time in development and with an actual business plan. Shame that it got toxic for me, but leaving it led me to doing better things. I featured this program in my online business topic to tell people of the lessons I learned overtime.

​Connecticut's Public Passenger Endorsement "Activity" 

In March 2023, I obtained the "A" letter in my license, meaning that I can drive students to their community settings. I drive the students over at FOCUS Center for Autism to their jobsites and other community places. 

Autism and Driving Resource Database 

During 2023, I developed this resource on this website to make use of information I obtained over the years. This database covers driver schools and non-driver programs from all 50 states. I created this resource to show families and individuals that they are not alone, and resources does exist out there.

Learning to Drive with Autism

I co-authored this course through Autism Speaks. Their free course covers the basics of driver's education, the steps to get a driver's license and some strategies for dealing with common driving issues for autistic people. Included are video testimonials from me and other autistic adults who took our time getting a license and have discovered how it opened doors to new social and job opportunities. You can find it here along with state guides that cover how old you have to be to get a license, car insurance requirements and opportunities to identify as autistic on a driver’s license:
