When I give talks as a professional speaker I often talk about the work I’ve done to bring a realistic portrayal of disability to our entertainment industry. If you’d like me to speak to your organization contact me anytime here.
First up is “Love on the Spectrum U.S.,” a heartfelt series that explores dating and relationships among autistic individuals. I had the privilege of being the autism consultant on this show, which highlights the beauty of neurodiverse connections.
Next is “Atypical,” a coming-of-age story about a young man on the autism spectrum. I worked on the social media campaign for the first season, and it’s been amazing to see the show’s impact.
“I Used to Be Famous” is a touching film about an autistic boy who bonds with a former pop star.
“Goyo” offers a unique look at the life of an autistic man who works as a museum guide who falls for his older coworker and deals with itense new emotions.
Lastly, “Geek Girl” dives into the world of a young autistic girl navigating school and friendships. These stories bring much-needed representation to the screen.
