On this week’s Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore episode, Sara Harvey joins me to discuss her work as an autism and disability advocate and her autism diagnosis in her late 20s. As she shares her experiences growing up and how she views her childhood now that she has an official diagnosis, we unpack how she found freedom and pride in her identity and comfort in the scientific side of autism.

We also explore how she moved through her son’s autism diagnosis, how it led to her diagnosis, how she and her son’s father are raising him, and why she is the best person for this job.

“Now I do believe, yeah, I’m the best person for this. Not just because I’m his mum. Not just because I’ve gone through this before. But because I’m still willing to learn. I’m willing to learn new things and throw out old where it’s wrong.”

Through her YouTube channel, Twitter, and other social media, Sara Harvey is working tirelessly to bring autism awareness and advocacy to the public while helping others, like her son, be heard, seen, respected, and understood.
