Ep 14: What I Wish You Knew: An Adult on the Spectrum Speaks
In this powerful conversation, Jennifer Dantzler sits down with Brennan, a 32-year-old adult on the autism spectrum and a registered behavior technician. Brennan shares his journey from early diagnosis and intervention to living independently, working in the ABA field, and mentoring others.
With honesty and humor, Brennan reflects on the challenges he faced in school, the supports that helped him succeed, and why early intervention and lifelong learning matter. He also opens up about misconceptions around autism and ABA, the importance of independence, and what he wishes the world truly understood about people on the spectrum.
Whether you’re a parent, professional, or simply someone who wants to better understand autism, Brennan’s insights will leave you inspired and encouraged to keep building inclusive communities.
