My Life with Autism: An Audio Interview with Eric LeBow

Hi everyone! 

I am excited to share the last blog in the autism series! This week the blog will actually be a podcast because it is a special interview with Eric LeBow. Eric is a young adult who has autism that was interested in answering some questions for my readers.

“I want to spread awareness for autism and why I am so open about it because I don’t want it to be the soul defining trait for a lot of people. I want people to be able to grow with their autism and be able to live comfortably, live satisfied, and become the best versions of themselves.”
