I feel like it's really been important to me as I enter adulthood and reali=

=C2=A0
I take pride in being a representative for the autism community. I feel lik=
e as a D-1 athlete, we use our platforms based off our grades and our talen=
t, but as an individual who is on the spectrum, I just hope to give other p=
eople the insight that autism doesn=E2=80=99t have to define you
Was there a time during your college journey when you leaned on a teammate,=
friend, or coach when times were tough? How has that familial type of supp=
ort system helped you navigate various changes and challenges through the y=
ears?=C2=A0
I would say during my sophomore year is when I relied on people most becaus=
e that's kind of when the pandemic hit. There were a lot of times when I fe=
lt stuck. I'm like, okay, what do I do during a pandemic? Just dealing with=
so much change was tough. So, it's good to have a support system there to =
help me and to reassure me that I=E2=80=99m doing great. Sometimes, we get =
lost with all the madness that happens in our everyday lives to realize all=
of the good.=C2=A0
=C2=A0
I felt like my teammates and my coaches were there to help me as both an at=
hlete and as a person. My parents and my family, of course, were always a p=
hone call away to help with anything and to give advice to help keep me goi=

What are you most proud of when you reflect on your four years in school an=
d as a member of the women's basketball team?=C2=A0
I'm very proud of the person I=E2=80=99ve become. Obviously, freshman year,=
you're entering a whole new chapter in your life. Not much experience with=
being on your own, so much to learn and so much to build on. Now as a seni=
or, I just feel like if I didn't go through what I went through freshman ye=
ar with coming to Albany and meeting new people, working with a whole new c=
oaching staff and just being in a different environment, I wouldn't be the =
person I am today.=C2=A0=C2=A0
=C2=A0
Before college, I never really talked about it and there wasn=E2=80=99t muc=
h awareness about autism in general, so it was something I always held insi=
de. Since I've opened up about it, I feel like it just gave me a breath of =
air, like I can be my true authentic self with nothing to hide.=C2=A0I feel=
like that's what I'm most proud of because if you asked me 10 years ago, I=
probably wouldn't have thought I would ever come out as being on the spect=
rum. I'm glad that I did because now I can be a representative and a role m=
odel for the community.=C2=A0
Looking back at when you first opened up to your teammates about your autis=
m diagnosis, what do you remember most about that time?=C2=A0=C2=A0
I remember Coach Mullen came in for a team meeting right before our workout=
, and she opened up in a vulnerable way about her kids being on spectrum. I=
n my mind, I=E2=80=99m thinking to myself, =E2=80=9Cno way.=E2=80=9D Growin=
g up, I often felt abnormal or that I couldn=E2=80=99t relate to anybody.=
=C2=A0You feel like you're just fighting battles by yourself,=C2=A0and to k=
now that autism is more common than you know and that I'm not the only one,=
it=E2=80=99s comforting.=C2=A0
=C2=A0
I have a good connection with other people who have experienced what I've e=
xperienced, and to know that my coach and her kids are going through the sa=
me thing that my mother and=C2=A0I went through, it lifted me up. It=E2=80=
=99s been great to have a real connection with Coach Mullen and her family.=
From the time she opened up to us, I knew she=E2=80=99d be someone I could=
trust and talk to.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0
=C2=A0
As for my teammates, they were always there to support me. When I wrote abo=
ut my story during my freshman year, I remember my teammate, Morgan, was ju=
st like, =E2=80=9CIf you have any trouble writing your story or if you're j=
ust feeling down or whatever, I'm here for you.=E2=80=9D I appreciated that=
so much. It=E2=80=99s little things like that which wound up being so big =
for me. I have a great support system.=C2=A0
Now as a senior, have you become=C2=A0more comfortable with being open and =
honest about your autism? How has your confidence grown since you first tal=
ked about your journey?=C2=A0
It boosted my confidence to know I=E2=80=99m not alone. I'm walking to clas=
s with my head held high. Not being scared or feeling like an outcast.=C2=
=A0Not feeling isolated. Growing up, I remember being taken out of PE and a=
rt classes to go to a psychologist. I felt ashamed of that. Everybody else =
is doing fun stuff and I'm here trying to figure out what this all means fo=
r me.=C2=A0
[[link removed]
nsions&utm_medium=3Demail&utm_campaign=3Dmonthlymissionspotlight]
=C2=A0
I held onto all these insecurities until I was in high school. I feel like =
now, in college, I realized there are people just like me. There are people=
in my class who are probably going through similar things. It=E2=80=99s bo=
osted my confidence to know that I=E2=80=99m not the only one like me. It w=
as always the world versus me. I always felt like I had to figure things ou=
t for myself because I was so different. Now I realize I=E2=80=99m really n=
ot that different. I=E2=80=99m just a regular college kid pursuing my goals=
. It took me 22 years to realize this, but I=E2=80=99m glad I finally did.=
=C2=A0=C2=A0
When you see your coach, teammates and countless others in the NCAA=C2=A0su=
pporting an initiative like=C2=A0Coaches Powering Forward [[link removed]
smspeaks.org/coaches?utm_source=3Dclickdimensions&utm_medium=3Demail&utm_ca=
mpaign=3Dmonthlymissionspotlight], how does that make you feel?=C2=A0=C2=A0
It makes me feel great to see autism being acknowledged in the public eye. =
Like I said before, to know there are other people out there just like me o=
r dealing with similar struggles. It gives me hope and the strength to keep=
going. I'm glad that Coach Mullen uses her platform to have everybody in t=
he community come together and bring more attention to autism. It makes me =
proud=C2=A0to see the NCAA bringing light to something that impacts so many=
people and families.
What advice would you give to a high school student athlete who is struggli=
ng to share their story with coaches and teammates?=C2=A0
I would say just always be yourself. When I look back to my time in high sc=
hool, I was always afraid to be myself. I was never really comfortable in m=
y own skin. I would always think something was wrong with me and ask why I =
had to be the one dealing with this. It was all just negative self-talk. Lo=
oking back, I'm glad that I went through that because I wouldn't be the per=
son I am today.=C2=A0It=E2=80=99s so important to love yourself. Self-love =
will help you get through anything you are dealing with and will only make =
you stronger.=C2=A0=C2=A0
Why is it important to share your personal story with the world?=C2=A0=C2=
=A0
It gives people insight into different perspectives. Just because you go th=
rough obstacles, it doesn't define you. I wake up every day and feel like I=
=E2=80=99m wearing a crown on my head because of my autism, and I embrace i=
t like I=E2=80=99m a princess. I'm proud of who I=E2=80=99ve become. If I w=
asn=E2=80=99t on the autism spectrum and didn=E2=80=99t go through things t=
hat I=E2=80=99ve gone through, then I wouldn=E2=80=99t be the Taniya I am t=
oday.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0
What do you want to be remembered for when your time as a member of the UAl=
bany women's basketball team comes to an end?=C2=A0=C2=A0
I just want to leave a mark that shows how dedication, commitment and hard =
work can get you so far. I want to show people that you can overcome obstac=
les and struggles, and those things don=E2=80=99t define you - it=E2=80=99s=
simply all part of the journey. This is just one of chapters in my life wh=
ere I just strive to get one=C2=A0percent better every day on and off the c=
ourt and in the classroom.=C2=A0
What five words would you use to=C2=A0describe yourself?=C2=A0
This is a tough one. I=E2=80=99d say hard worker, passionate, selfless, gre=
at teammate, motivator.=C2=A0
As you prepare to graduate and move on to a new phase of life, what does th=
e future hold for you?=C2=A0
The future holds success. I=E2=80=99ll be continuing to work towards my goa=
ls and enjoy the ride wherever life takes me.=C2=A0I=E2=80=99m always going=

Each autistic person has their own strengths and challenges. We are proud to share their stories in support of our continued work to increase understanding and acceptance, across the spectrum and throughout the life span
 
Catching up with Taniya H.
Last time we heard from 19-year-old Taniya [[link removed]] during World Autism Month in 2020, she was in the midst of her freshman season and still figuring out how to navigate the ups and downs that come with being a student athlete in a Division 1 program. Not only was she learning how to adapt to the fast-paced, physical nature of the game on the court, but off the court she was adjusting to life in a new city with new coaches and a new group of teammates.

Today, as one of the senior leaders on the team, Taniya’s tenacious work ethic and passion for the game makes her the embodiment of a role model both on and off the court.
Learn how she used her life experiences to go from a shy, nervous freshman to a brave, powerful senior who knows exactly who she is and what she is capable of in this Q&A [[link removed]]:
How important has it been to your personal growth to have found a supportive environment at the University at Albany and a head coach that understands autism and has the connection of her own?  
I feel like it's really been important to me as I enter adulthood and realize how it's more common than you think. It's good that I can relate to Coach Mullen and that I can strive to be a role model to her kids (Callan and Brennan) [[link removed]] and all the kids out there who live on a spectrum. To show them that you can live a normal, typical life and can accomplish your goals if you work hard. You can overcome obstacles and be whatever you want to be with the right support system and work ethic.  
 
I take pride in being a representative for the autism community. I feel like as a D-1 athlete, we use our platforms based off our grades and our talent, but as an individual who is on the spectrum, I just hope to give other people the insight that autism doesn’t have to define you
Was there a time during your college journey when you leaned on a teammate, friend, or coach when times were tough? How has that familial type of support system helped you navigate various changes and challenges through the years? 
I would say during my sophomore year is when I relied on people most because that's kind of when the pandemic hit. There were a lot of times when I felt stuck. I'm like, okay, what do I do during a pandemic? Just dealing with so much change was tough. So, it's good to have a support system there to help me and to reassure me that I’m doing great. Sometimes, we get lost with all the madness that happens in our everyday lives to realize all of the good. 
 
I felt like my teammates and my coaches were there to help me as both an athlete and as a person. My parents and my family, of course, were always a phone call away to help with anything and to give advice to help keep me going.

What are you most proud of when you reflect on your four years in school and as a member of the women's basketball team? 
I'm very proud of the person I’ve become. Obviously, freshman year, you're entering a whole new chapter in your life. Not much experience with being on your own, so much to learn and so much to build on. Now as a senior, I just feel like if I didn't go through what I went through freshman year with coming to Albany and meeting new people, working with a whole new coaching staff and just being in a different environment, I wouldn't be the person I am today.  
 
Before college, I never really talked about it and there wasn’t much awareness about autism in general, so it was something I always held inside. Since I've opened up about it, I feel like it just gave me a breath of air, like I can be my true authentic self with nothing to hide. I feel like that's what I'm most proud of because if you asked me 10 years ago, I probably wouldn't have thought I would ever come out as being on the spectrum. I'm glad that I did because now I can be a representative and a role model for the community. 
Looking back at when you first opened up to your teammates about your autism diagnosis, what do you remember most about that time?  
I remember Coach Mullen came in for a team meeting right before our workout, and she opened up in a vulnerable way about her kids being on spectrum. In my mind, I’m thinking to myself, “no way.” Growing up, I often felt abnormal or that I couldn’t relate to anybody. You feel like you're just fighting battles by yourself, and to know that autism is more common than you know and that I'm not the only one, it’s comforting. 
 
I have a good connection with other people who have experienced what I've experienced, and to know that my coach and her kids are going through the same thing that my mother and I went through, it lifted me up. It’s been great to have a real connection with Coach Mullen and her family. From the time she opened up to us, I knew she’d be someone I could trust and talk to.   
 
As for my teammates, they were always there to support me. When I wrote about my story during my freshman year, I remember my teammate, Morgan, was just like, “If you have any trouble writing your story or if you're just feeling down or whatever, I'm here for you.” I appreciated that so much. It’s little things like that which wound up being so big for me. I have a great support system. 
Now as a senior, have you become more comfortable with being open and honest about your autism? How has your confidence grown since you first talked about your journey? 
It boosted my confidence to know I’m not alone. I'm walking to class with my head held high. Not being scared or feeling like an outcast. Not feeling isolated. Growing up, I remember being taken out of PE and art classes to go to a psychologist. I felt ashamed of that. Everybody else is doing fun stuff and I'm here trying to figure out what this all means for me.

I held onto all these insecurities until I was in high school. I feel like now, in college, I realized there are people just like me. There are people in my class who are probably going through similar things. It’s boosted my confidence to know that I’m not the only one like me. It was always the world versus me. I always felt like I had to figure things out for myself because I was so different. Now I realize I’m really not that different. I’m just a regular college kid pursuing my goals. It took me 22 years to realize this, but I’m glad I finally did.  
When you see your coach, teammates and countless others in the NCAA supporting an initiative like Coaches Powering Forward [[link removed]], how does that make you feel?  
It makes me feel great to see autism being acknowledged in the public eye. Like I said before, to know there are other people out there just like me or dealing with similar struggles. It gives me hope and the strength to keep going. I'm glad that Coach Mullen uses her platform to have everybody in the community come together and bring more attention to autism. It makes me proud to see the NCAA bringing light to something that impacts so many people and families.
What advice would you give to a high school student athlete who is struggling to share their story with coaches and teammates? 
I would say just always be yourself. When I look back to my time in high school, I was always afraid to be myself. I was never really comfortable in my own skin. I would always think something was wrong with me and ask why I had to be the one dealing with this. It was all just negative self-talk. Looking back, I'm glad that I went through that because I wouldn't be the person I am today. It’s so important to love yourself. Self-love will help you get through anything you are dealing with and will only make you stronger.  
Why is it important to share your personal story with the world?  
It gives people insight into different perspectives. Just because you go through obstacles, it doesn't define you. I wake up every day and feel like I’m wearing a crown on my head because of my autism, and I embrace it like I’m a princess. I'm proud of who I’ve become. If I wasn’t on the autism spectrum and didn’t go through things that I’ve gone through, then I wouldn’t be the Taniya I am today.   
What do you want to be remembered for when your time as a member of the UAlbany women's basketball team comes to an end?  
I just want to leave a mark that shows how dedication, commitment and hard work can get you so far. I want to show people that you can overcome obstacles and struggles, and those things don’t define you - it’s simply all part of the journey. This is just one of chapters in my life where I just strive to get one percent better every day on and off the court and in the classroom. 
What five words would you use to describe yourself? 
This is a tough one. I’d say hard worker, passionate, selfless, great teammate, motivator. 
As you prepare to graduate and move on to a new phase of life, what does the future hold for you? 
The future holds success. I’ll be continuing to work towards my goals and enjoy the ride wherever life takes me. I’m always going to be trying to reach my full potential.
