Speaker Biography
Throughout her entire life, Laurie has assumed the role of caregiver, but it was through her 21 years of experience parenting a child with profound autism that she discovered the true purpose for her life – to serve as a beacon of hope for those who feel lost or broken. Through her books, “Welcome to My Life – A Personal Parenting Journey Through Autism” and “Selling Vegetables to Drunks: Lessons I Learned as an Alcoholic’s Daughter,” her podcast, “Living the Sky Life – Our Autism Journey,” and speaking events, Laurie is continually striving to make a lasting impact in the autism community and beyond. Laurie’s message while presenting has been called inspirational and powerful but most of all, she is relatable & helps each person feel seen.
