Sam Farmer- Setting out for a better quality of life in the face of challenge and adversity.
Sam Farmer is a neurodiversity community self-advocate, writer/author, public speaker and consultant for Floreo, a company that leverages virtual reality technology in teaching social, communication and other life skills for neurodiverse individuals. Diagnosed later in life as autistic, he writes blogs and articles, records coaching videos and podcasts, and presents at conferences and support groups, sharing stories and thoughts as to how one can achieve greater happiness and success in the face of challenge and adversity. A Long Walk Down a Winding Road - Small Steps, Challenges, & Triumphs Through an Autistic Lens is his first book. From the unique perspective of someone on the autism spectrum comes a book about working to carve out a better life in the face of challenge and adversity. Interwoven with true stories of personal hardships and triumphs, A Long Walk Down a Winding Road offers ideas and insights aimed at inspiring and empowering the reader to enhance the quality of life. It also exposes what it can feel like to be autistic, as told by somebody who actually walks in these shoes. Don't miss this special session where we will discuss Sam's book and his path through what we call the Green Zone. Sharing inspiring stories such as these is part of our mission to show our community that no matter what challenge we are presented with, there is always a path to happiness, hope, and empowerment!
