We arrived at the Converge Autism Summit in Greenville South Carolina

Emmett and I made it safely to South Carolina last night. It took us about 9 hours or so of actual driving and it rained most of the way. Emmett handled the ride really well and if having a great time so far. Emmett didn’t want to stand in the rain Virginia, so I stood alone. lol I’m just finished setting everything up and I’m going to head back out and check out the vendors. Emmett’s working in some school work and our day is off to a pretty good start. :-)

Summing up my experience at The Converge Autism Summit

At the end of April, I drove to Greenville, South Carolina. They invited me to attend and promote The National Converge Autism Summit, put on by Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health. This was the first time I agreed to attend anything like this before, especially in person. It's been a few weeks, and the dust has settled. I wanted to share how the trip went, and talk a little about my first experience of attending a conference. First, my purpose for being there was to promote the conference. That included documenting my experiences, sharing on social media, and interviewing the keynote speakers. This was a great opportunity to grow professionally, and I took full advantage. It's not every day that I get a chance to sit down with Temple Grandin and…

Final day of my 5 day trip and here’s what’s happened

I'm on day four of my five day trip. It's the last day of The National Converge Autism Summit and it's been an amazing experience thus far. Yesterday, I sat down with Ron Suskind and had 25 minute discussion on the podcast. Can't wait for you all to hear it. I got to meet and hang out with Kate Swenson from Finding Cooper's Voice. We took turns interviewing people. Both Ron and Kate are super down to Earth, easy to talk to, and have a wealth of experience in the world of autism. Today I will be meeting and interviewing Dr. Temple Grandin. I'm so nervous about this interview but it's going to be great. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cc7up-8lX5I/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= I'm going to be leaving for home first thing in the morning, I have…

Just a quick update

Super quick update. I'm well on my way and heading towards Greenville, South Carolina for The National Converge Autism Summit, put on my my friends at Springbrook Autism Behavioral Health. I was feeling pretty anxious this morning but with a little help, I got that the anxiety in check. After driving for many hours today, I'm fighting off a headache and some good old fashioned exhaustion.

Link at the top of this page or click here. ☺ I'm going to get some rest and hopefully shake the headache. I want to say thank you for all the…
