I concluded Autism Acceptance Month with a final assembly today. Last fall, the Autism teacher at the school discovered me on social media and worked hard to organize this event. At the end of my presentation, the students repeated after me and cheered "Choose kindness, acceptance & Inclusion" with great enthusiasm. I was honored to have representatives from the Trenton School District Central Office attend. It was a truly memorable day!

Last summer, I was invited by the Oak Tree School to participate in their Autism Acceptance Month celebration that was held today. As a school that actively promotes diversity and inclusivity, I was impressed by the thoughtful questions posed by the students following my presentation. One student inquired about the most significant challenge I overcame, to which I replied that “ I was unable to speak until the age of four and couldn't form complete sentences until the third grade but now I am a public speaker.”

Autism is a spectrum from which we can all learn from. It is vital to believe in oneself as anything is possible!!!

After my assembly at Parker School, the whole school came together to create the infinity symbol for Autism Acceptance — a powerful reminder of neurodiversity and the infinite strengths within the autism community. I was delighted to be part of it and thrilled to be in the photo capturing such a special moment.

“ I love that you aren’t afraid to be you, and that you have the courage to talk about your life the way you do.” Those were the words shared by a student today, and I was honored to join them for their bubbles for Autism event!

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit a school in a small town of Middlesex as part of their Autism Acceptance Month celebration. The school celebrated the occasion with a range of activities and successfully raised over $1000 for a non-profit autism organization. Following my assembly, the entire school community came together outside to form an infinity symbol shape, symbolizing neurodiversity, acceptance, and inclusion. I was so happy to be invited to your part of this photo. I truly appreciate the Parker School for inviting me to participate in today's events.

Today, the Principal of Hazlet Middle School shared that my presentation offered a deeply personal, powerful, and courageous story about my painful journey of exclusion due to my autism. He expressed that my message gave the students hope and encouraged them to believe in their ability to create positive change in their own lives.

I also had the opportunity to learn about their “Unified Partners” program, which provides mentors for every student with a disability to ensure full inclusion in all classrooms. The program has had a remarkable impact, motivating students to demonstrate positive behavior so they can participate in this supportive and inclusive community.

It was such a great day — one that reminded me how far I’ve come, and how sharing our stories can create real change.

This week’s Autism Acceptance Month visits were truly meaningful. I started at the Midland School in Paramus, where I had the honor of signing the Authors’ Chair.

At Kittatinny High School, I spoke with parents and administrators who were eager to learn and grow, and at Bragg Elementary in Chester, a student bravely shared that he feels the same way I did growing up — not always understood or accepted by his peers. Moments like that remind me why this work matters.

I wrapped up the week in Shrewsbury Borough with the youngest group of all, grades K–4. They listened with such focus and shared what they learned during the Q&A, proving that acceptance can start early when we give kids the chance to understand.

Monday, I head to Hazlet Middle School. If you are interested in having me you at your school, organization or conference Email me at Tips4Inclusion2018@gmail.com

During today's assembly at Bragg Elementary School, a student bravely said " I have autism, adhd and a tic disorder just like you. I have no friends, my best friend moved away, others don't understand me, and they find my tics annoying " He asked me to remind everyone how they can include him. His twin brother later asked how he could help support his brother.

My response was " If you see someone different from you, smile, say hello, get to know them, invite them to play with you and most of all be patient".

That moment made such a real impact, and everyone listened. When a child feels understood and safe enough to express how he feels in front of his peers, you know you are making a difference. It was one of the most defining moments in my career today and makes it all worthwhile.
