UberNeuro: Meet Haley Moss...
Manage episode 403201316 series 3157730
Welcome to the ninth episode of UberNeuro. We speak with Haley Moss (https://www.instagram.com/haleymossart/), Attorney with Autism, Advocate, Speaker, Author and so much more. Oh, and she is only just turning 25 by the way.
In the 90s stereotypes on Autism were set by Temple Grandin & Dustin Hoffman's performance in the epic flick Rainman. Haley was then a non-verbal 3 year old diagnosed with ASD. She cried a lot and didn’t socialise. People didn’t want to speak about it. But Haley had an amazing and supportive family that just wanted to let her play and be loved. The challenges changed and evolved as she got older and at 25 it’s all so different. but she powers through them seemingly effortlessly on the surface but clearly with immense focus and energy to overcome. As she says 'These are the cards I have been dealt and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.' Haley now focusses on making sure everyone’s voices within NeuroDiversity can be heard. Amazing human. Honoured to interview her.
As ever sharing one's story is valuable for the sharers and those listening, with or without a NeuroDiversity themselves, or indeed for those parenting, mentoring, coaching and working with anyone with a NeuroDiversity.
============================
UberNeuro explores the world of Neuro Diverse Super Heroes.
My son was recently diagnosed with Autism (ASD) and to inspire him my mission is to interview amazing champions and winners from the worlds of business, sports, film & tv, music, etc who have triumphed despite (or often because?) of their neuro diversity.
We will ask them three questions and see where the conversation takes us over 10-15 minutes. What challenge did you face? What happened next? Where are you now?
The only question that remains is who should we interview next?
