I learned so much about people in my interview with Sam Mitchell. He is a 22 year old, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, blogger, podcaster, educator and has done a Tedex talk. Sam is a high functioning human being on the autism spectrum with a mission: to show people that people with autism are not broken. He has spoken all over the world, demonstrating his success and educating people about autism. Sam taught me that you can ask questions and there is a diference between a temper tantrum and a meltdown. He teaches law enforcement personnel how to work with autistic people. He says there are signs. It's obvious. Thank you, Sam for the work you are doing.
