The Autistic Barber

The Autistic Barber

In this episode Dr. Annette Nunez and Maylene Johnson chat with two very special guests CJ Hernandez “The Autistic Barber,” and his mother Mary Hernandez. This podcast is exceptional because we hear from two different perspectives of both mother and son navigating through the autism journey together. CJ is one of the most positive, authentic, and insightful guests and it comes through during this podcast. Both CJ and Mary share their inspiring journey in hopes of encouraging others who share the same journey.
