Bio: Crystal Maddox: “I’m a mother of three amazing children, a momma bear, and a breast cancer survivor. My son is autistic and I wouldn’t change him for anything. Over the years I’ve learned how to better advocate for him. He and I have been absorbing everything there is to know about autism and neurodiversity and we are learning more every day.”

Bio: Julie Roberts, M.S., CCC-SLP is a late-diagnosed Autistic speech-language pathologist practicing in the public schools. On January 11, 2018, Julie founded Therapist Neurodiversity Collective to support her vision to serve Autistic and other Neurodivergent people and their families by advocating for an industry-wide sea change in therapy provider services centering on Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices, Neurodivergent, and Autistic Social Justice and Human Rights
