Sam Henderson is a 15 year old who has a mind of his own and has all kinds of unique interests. Sometimes there is a disconnect with Sam's interests and what his school wants him to learn. We discuss the school system and how it can be a challenge for anyone that is neurodivergent to feel they are being seen and heard for who they are in their school system.
Sam is also the founder of Autists For Change, which is a grassroots organization that he started. He uses the internet and social media to help share and promote autistic voices. He helps promote the voices of autists in the system, to advocate for improvements to the system. His organization also tries to spread awareness and educate people on autism, so that autism can be better understood and accepted. If you are interested in his mission, or want to join, please visit Sam's website at www.autistsforchange.org
