It is finally here! Season 2 is officially live, with a new revamped look! Autism is much more than a puzzle piece. A puzzle piece can not define autism, but it can be expressed as a rainbow hand. This field is about moving forward, promises, and experiencing new beginnings. The hand represents us all. They say when you've met one individual with autism, you've met one individual with autism. It's true! We're in this together to change the world. Now let's get to the first episode of Season 2! Episode 24 is live! Victoria describes herself as an AWESOME AUTISTIC! She has a bachelor's degree in psychology from Tougaloo in Tougaloo, MS. She is six months from receiving her Master's in ABA from Capella. She is also an autistic mom. She is working towards her dream of becoming a BCBA. She hopes to inspire others with her gift. Be sure to check her out on her Instagram @viccorley. See Ya!
