Autism: It's Not What You Think

Replay – Susan May: Autism – It’s Not What You Think

Originally aired 9-18-24

Susan is a writer, community creator, coach, wife, and mom. With one of her children being autistic, everyday life in her household often follows a different rhythm than that of many families. She had already embraced homeschooling—what she likes to call “unschooling”—with her other children, so adapting her teaching approach to meet her autistic child’s needs was a journey she felt prepared for.

Susan’s purpose and passion extend far beyond her immediate family. She is deeply committed to fostering greater understanding and acceptance of autism in society. To create meaningful change, Susan organizes local workshops for parents and educators, where she shares practical strategies for inclusive education. Through her blog, she provides resources, personal stories, and actionable tips for supporting autistic individuals.

She also partners with autism advocacy groups to help promote inclusive practices within schools and community organizations. By highlighting the strengths and unique perspectives of autistic people, Susan encourages others to recognize that knowledge, understanding, and potential are always present—and with the right support, autistic individuals can fully express themselves and participate actively in their communities.

As Susan often says, “When we listen and adapt, we discover new ways to connect and celebrate every individual’s gifts.”

Tune in to this engaging conversation to hear more of Susan’s experiences, insights, and practical recommendations for creating a more inclusive world for autistic individuals and their families.
