A couple of Sam’s quotable moments from this episode:

“I would say that each person on the spectrum is very different. So interacting with them is gonna be a little different as well.”

“I just want them to understand that, well, it's okay to be yourself regardless of who you are and what background you came from.”

More about Sam & his mission:

Since starting his podcast in 2019, Autism Rocks and Rolls has become a 503(c) non-profit with a mission to remove the stigma often associated with autism.

Sam’s goal is to help parents who might be terrified because their child was diagnosed with autism, someone on the spectrum that feels lost, a business owner that wants to motivate their company, and teachers that want to understand the emotional side of autism for their students.
