À propos de cet audio
In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, host Jennifer Dantzler sits down with former intern Michael Rickli, a young adult on the spectrum who is now thriving as an employee at Disney.
Michael opens up about his early years—being diagnosed at age five, not speaking consistently until elementary school, navigating changes, and overcoming academic challenges. He shares his path from special education supports to graduating early from high school, earning a double major from the University of Houston, and following his dream all the way to Disney.
Michael’s story is a beautiful reminder that with support, opportunity, and encouragement, autistic individuals can shine in countless ways. His journey is full of resilience, growth, and magic—Disney magic included.
Whether you're a parent, educator, employer, or autistic individual yourself, this episode will leave you inspired, hopeful, and reminded of the power of believing in someone’s potential.
✨ Listen now and keep shining!
