My name is Sam, I am an autistic adult who struggles with autoimmune diseases. I am a teacher by trade, a husband, father of three and a creative who likes to paint sneakers and make things. My podcast is inspired by the interactions that I have with my students, and my musings as I journey through life. My goal is to share my personal journey and thoughts about life, creativity or whatever else pops into my head. Grab a cup of tea and let’s talk.
