I Am.... Taylor Linloff

They say I am overly sensitive and weird; a cry baby...

I say I am compassionate, creative, and an intelligent and strong person.

I became an advocate after my diagnosis, and have since become a freelance writer, speaker, and artist. My long term goal is to become a mental health specialized Occupational Therapist.

My biggest success was being asked to be a consultant for national policies on autism.

I Am... ​Brett Perlowitz

They say I am funny, magical, and a Walking Calendar...

I say I am just a young man who loves movies.

I am one of only about 60 people in the world who have HSAM! Or Hyper Superior Autobiographical Memory! It is also called Hyperthymesia. I can remember anything in my life or a loved one's/teacher's life for the past 10 years or longer. I can tell you any movie I have seen, or not seen, in the last 10 years, when it went on Blue ray or DVD and when it came out in theatres. I can also tell you who I went with to the movies and which movie theatre in that time period. I can remember and tell you any day of the week for any date in the last ten years or the next five years with 100% accuracy! I am super amazing at reminding you of your schedule too and when you had all your doctor appointments in the last five to ten years! I also love to take pictures in front of movie signs! I made a book about them with all the dates I saw them.

My biggest success was getting accepted to the Unicorn Village Academy School where my differences are valued and shaped.

I Am... Haley Moss

They say I am Florida's first openly autistic attorney...
I say I am unstoppable.

I went viral as Florida's first openly autistic attorney, but that's not the beginning or the end of my journey. I have fought countless doubt, stereotypes and stigmas, and will always continue to push forward. I want to use the platform I have in order to make sure neurodiversity in our society is accepted everywhere and anywhere. 

I am a person with interests and hobbies and goals. I am a dreamer. I am a doer. I am Haley Moss.

I Am.... Tynan Drake

Introducing: Tynan Drake

I am...

a transmedia designer and storyteller

I have a passion for stories that drive us to question our preconceived perceptions of ourselves, our communities, our cultures, and even our sense of reality. There's so much to be learned by challenging the way we've traditionally thought about ourselves and the world around us, and I firmly believe that the more we question the aspects of our reality we believed to be unquestionable, the more fulfilling and interesting life becomes.

My biggest success was getting admitted to graduate school. I am currently studying at Ball State University in both the Creative Writing and Emerging Media Design & Development MA programs. I'm currently working on my graduate creative project, a transmedia story about the intersectional experience of being autistic, transgender non-binary, and being multiple (DID).

I love to write, and am working on a series of fantasy novels, which I hope to get published one day.

My biggest success was speaking at the United Nations for World Autism Day! I also got to travel to the Czech Republic to educate people about autism, and I'm now part of Sephora's "We Belong to Something Beautiful" campaign.
