Diagnosed with autism and an intellectual disability at a young age, Michael has always embraced challenges head-on. Now an author, public speaker, and activist, he shares his life's journey to foster understanding, acceptance, and a sense of belonging. In 2018, he self-published his first book, Can't Read, Can't Write, Here's My Book, written using speech-to-text technology. Two years later, he co-authored I Belong: Can I Play? with Heather Gals, a children's book aimed at promoting inclusion. Michael's work inspires audiences of all ages, reminding us that everyone has a place and voice in the world.
