As the mom of a fourteen-year-old boy with autism and ADHD, I love meeting adults who are neurodiverse who are living their dreams and making the world a better place at the same time. That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to my guests today, Shane Campfield and Edward Couture, founders of HURDLE.   HURDLE is a Unique Abilities advocacy group which provides motivation and inspiration through public speaking at conferences, organizations and programs. They also have a YouTube show called Spectrum of Hurdles, and I was honored to be one of their guests!   Shane is a passionate, energetic young leader with a positive outlook who has been an autism advocate for many years. He's overcome many obstacles in life, including losing both parents at a very early age. In addition to his role with HURDLE, he loves music and is currently a DJ in Florida, as well as a photographer.   Ed is a 56-year-old autism advocate whose life’s passion is to help people with disabilities. Diagnosed with autism as an adult, he's overcome a great deal in his life as well, including 3 years of homelessness, numerous strokes, and heart issues. He has had many unique jobs he is proud of, including casino dealer, and professional wrestler.   Today Shane, Ed and I discuss how they were able to survive the hardest seasons in their lives, how those seasons produced the fruit of encouragement, and how faith played a role for them both. They have important advice for both kids and adults who face challenges, and you will not want to miss the final question about a random act of kindness – this one literally left me speechless!   Make sure you check out Shane and Ed’s YouTube Show, Spectrum of Hurdles HERE and you can check out my interview HERE.
