Dr. Brett Ranon Nachman is an autistic higher education researcher and co-lead of the PEACES study. We talk about what success means for autistic post-secondary students, the impact of internalized ableism and masking, and how campuses can better support marginalized autistic students, including LGBTQIA+ and late-identified individuals.Brett shares insights from both personal experience and research, and we reflect on the importance of autistic-led scholarship and inclusive academic spaces. This conversation left me feeling hopeful — and I think it will do the same for you.Watch this episode on YouTube.Dr. Brett Ranon Nachman's Instagram, BlueSky, and emailLearn more about topics discussed in this episode:College Autism NetworkPEACES Project Theme music: "Everything Feels New" by Evgeny Bardyuzha.
