"It took me until my thirties to realize that if I don’t have love and respect for myself, no one else will. Today, I’m independent, strong, resilient and fearless.”
Finding purpose: How Jessica J. became a fearless advocate for the autistic and Hispanic communities
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures and significant contributions of Hispanic communities across the United States. It’s also an opportunity to highlight the stories of individuals who embody a fearless spirit.
Syracuse resident Jessica J. found a renewed sense of purpose and belonging by joining Autism Speaks through the volunteer advocacy ambassador program in July 2021, in the midst of the pandemic. At a time when the world was grappling with uncertainty, Jessica was navigating her own journey of self-discovery, seeking crucial next steps in her life. By February 2022, she attended their first virtual autism forum and Hill Day, forging lasting friendships and connections that continue to shape her life today as a leading voice in the autistic community.

Joining Autism Speaks was more than just a decision for Jessica; it was a transformative experience that has profoundly impacted her life and proved to be a testament to the power of community and advocacy in the face of challenges. Today, she’s thriving in a career in The New York State Office of the Attorney General and is launching a podcast in October centered around hot button issues the autism and neurodivergent communities.
