  • Summary

  • Recorded 06-06-20 We had so much fun talking with our friend, Amaris, that we had to make this one a two-parter! On part one, we discuss Amaris's late ADHD/autism/non-verbal learning disorder diagnosis, life as a neuro-psych grad student pursuing a Ph.D., her time in the Navy, family, relationships, and what it was like being an ABA therapist while discovering her own autism diagnosis. We also go into the pressures of being gifted at a young young age and how that affected her life and academic career. Amaris also shares some compelling and personal stories about what it’s like to be black and autistic. And some very exciting things that she has planned for the future! Amaris is a Psychological Assistant at Total Spectrum Counseling and a grad student at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Health Psychology. In her time with the university, her clinical interests have gravitated towards serving communities of color, exploring the connection between the brain and behavior, and autism spectrum disorders in pediatric and adult minority populations.
