Becoming an Autistic Adult with Becca Engle

Описание: Growing up autistic brings a perspective that parents, teachers, and therapists can learn so much from. This week, I’m talking with Becca Engle, a special education teacher, book coach, and autistic adult. Becca was diagnosed at age three, found her voice by age five, and has been navigating the ups and downs of life with autism ever since. In our conversation, she shares what made a difference along the way—from the adults who supported her to the moments of real connection that opened doors to learning. We also dig into how assumptions about autism can shape—or limit—a child’s future. Becca’s story is such a good reminder that every child’s journey is different, and that growth doesn’t always look the way we think it will.
