In addition to creating entertainment for kids of all ages, I am also dedicated to communicate a positive message about the special abilities that autistic individuals have, promote their works, and hopefully help them become sufficient adults.
I speak frequently about autism, the arts, and my experiences in owning and operating my own company at such an young age with the hopes of inspiring other individuals to look beyond their disability and to help them find their passion whether art, music, or animation. Everyone deserves a fulfilling place in the world and to leverage their talents in a meaningful way. I have spoken at:
