Raising the “Bar”
In this episode we chat with the first openly autistic lawyer who practices law in Florida. She shares with us her journey from being non-verbal at the age of three to recently passing the Bar. With the support of her family and her positive outlook on life this autistic female gives back to the community through her books, artwork, and speaking out about the importance of neurodiversity. Her famous quote, ” Different isn’t bad, it’s just different, and different can be extraordinary” is an adequate description of autism.
Meet Haley Moss author, artist, advocate, speaker, and lawyer (just to name a few of her jobs.) Haley talks about her incredible journey from sharing her earliest memories of the different types of therapies she participated in, to her stim behaviors, to fitting in socially in middle and high school, to attending law school and passing the Bar. From an early age she was told that autism was a positive thing and nothing to be ashamed of. She turned this positivity into becoming an artist, writer, and ultimately becoming a lawyer. She is a true example of what autism is versus what autism isn’t. No autistic individual should be placed in a box as everyone has an inspiring and extraordinary story just like Haley. This is an episode you want to listen to!
