Hey, guys! Happy Saturday! I hope you all had a fantastic week. I'm April Ratchford, your friendly occupational therapist mom, proudly on the spectrum and raising an amazing young adult son with autism. Welcome back to another episode of Adulting with Autism, where we dive into the roller coaster of adulthood through a neurodiverse lens.
This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Michaell Magrutsche. Michael has made a spectacular mark on the world with his art, books, and wisdom, all while navigating life with dyslexia and dysgraphia. For those who might not know, dyslexia is difficulty reading, and dysgraphia is a neurological disorder affecting writing. Despite these challenges, Michaell has discovered three inherent superpowers we all should embrace: creativity, healthy dialogue, and adaptability.
Michaell is fluent in both English and German, completely self-taught, and has achieved so much, from being an author and artist to hosting his own podcast. He's even been a former art commissioner and co-produced with the late American film producer Robert Evans, known for classics like "The Godfather" and "Chinatown". Amazing, right?
So, grab your drink of choice (no judgment here), sit back, and enjoy our conversation. We discuss everything from the importance of recognizing our unique strengths to the need for systemic updates in education and employment for neurodivergent individuals. Michaell's insights are truly inspiring and remind us that each of us is one of a kind in this vast world of 8 billion people.
