Navigating University with Autism: Sam Mitchell's Journey

In this episode, I sit down with Sam Mitchell, founder of Autism Rocks and Rolls, an advocacy group supporting individuals with autism. Sam shares his personal autism journey and how it led him to educate others and challenge misconceptions.

Sam explains that autism is not a “one size fits all” condition. He shares how his advocacy work grew naturally, empowering him to build a supportive community. We also explore Sam’s experience as a university student, his strategies for managing studies, and how he approaches personal challenges with a positive mindset.

Throughout the conversation, Sam highlights the importance of self-care, balancing college life, and finding the right community to succeed in higher education. He offers valuable advice on handling exam stress, managing expectations, and staying grounded as a student.
