Dear Valued Listener/Viewer,

In this episode of 'Get Inspired with Dr. Barb', I interview Jacob Farkash, a 16-year-old author, illustrator, and podcaster who shares his experiences living with autism. Jacob discusses his journey of self-expression through social media, his podcast, and the importance of music in finding his voice. He offers valuable advice for teachers, parents, and peers on supporting individuals with autism and emphasizes the significance of being true to oneself and cherishing friendships.
