I am thrilled to have Erin Beal with us. Erin is the autistic and ADHD founder of the Autism Wellness Center of SW Michigan, as well as a personal trainer and a 2nd year Masters student of Developmental Disabilities at Columbia University. Erin offers freelance wellness consulting for kids, teens, and adults who are autistic or ADHD. Find her on Facebook or Instagram!

Erin was originally a communications expert and a graduate student in English until she was diagnosed with autism at age 30. Since then, she’s dedicated her career to researching and supporting individuals on the autism spectrum across all contexts and across the lifespan.

In this interview, we’re talking about what exactly goes into getting a Master’s in Developmental Disabilities, Erin’s journey from doing something completely different through getting an autism spectrum diagnosis and devoting all her energy to getting this Wellness Center open, and how much the online autism community has meant to us both. I really enjoyed our conversation and hope you will, too!
