Testimonials:
"Your videos will make their lives better. Please keep making content! I’m surrounded by autism...my friends’ kids, relatives, and even a few co-workers. I’ve been trying to learn as much as I can about how we can all communicate better since the late 90s. That’s why I love your videos! Even after all of this time, you were still able to educate me.”

Larissa Minner's Presentation at The International Autism Summit 2024
"During The International Autism Summit 2024, Larissa Minner presented a session titled 'Preventing Autistic Burnout by Creating Neuro-affirming Environments'. The session aimed to contribute to a paradigm shift by outlining the needs of autistic individuals within a neuro-affirming environment. It focused on recognizing the living experience of the autistic population, understanding the ways in which typical work environments have been inadvertently contributing to masking and ongoing struggles, and creating and implementing neurodivergent affirming practices. Her session was relatable and personal for me, as I faced similar challenges in my own youth.
Larissa Minner's presentation provided insights into creating environments that support autistic individuals and prevent burnout. She shared strategies and practices to create neuro-affirming environments that prioritize the well-being and support the unique needs of autistic individuals. She is graceful, professional, and thorough in both her research and speaking. I highly recommend Larissa and will be extending invitations to further events as well."- Sara Bradford aka SJ Childs
Founder & CEO of SJ Childs Organizations
