ABOUT THE HOST:
Raul is the Organizer of LAND and aims to rewrite outdated narratives that exist within people who were born with developmental or learning differences, or neurodiverse. He also has a MSW from USC and uses his knowledge for good. Growing up as an Autistic Latino in Los Angeles, he has experienced many obstacles, from disempowerment to social isolation. Now as a working professional and advocate for over 10 years, he works hard to develop programs and collaborate with others on how to best empower self-advocates to live fulfilling lives. He also speaks at conferences or offers consultation to those who are looking to learn more on how to best support neurodiverse individuals.
