Hey ya'll! Welcome to our podcast! Today, we're thrilled to have the amazing Rebecca Engle joining us. She's a talented autistic author, educator, and advocate, and we're so excited to dive into her incredible journey.

Rebecca shares her inspiring story of transformation from being non-verbal to becoming a powerful advocate. Her personal experiences have fueled her passion to revolutionize educational systems, and she's here to tell us all about it.

As we chat, Rebecca highlights the importance of advocacy in creating inclusive educational environments. She draws from her own experiences as both a student and teacher, shedding light on the challenges autistic students face and the vital role of self-advocacy. We also explore the challenges autistic individuals encounter in public spaces, and Rebecca shares her vision for sensory-friendly environments that reduce anxiety and promote participation.
