Reed is a passionate advocate for autism and neurodiversity, leveraging his unique experiences as a proud Aspie to illuminate the challenges and triumphs faced by neurodivergent individuals. In his current role as a blogger at Not Weird Just Autistic, Reed shares his personal journey of growing up in a time when autism was largely misunderstood and often undiagnosed. This perspective not only enriches his writing but also resonates deeply with his audience, fostering a sense of community and understanding among those who may feel isolated in their experiences.
In February 2023, Reed took a bold step by launching his website and blog, where he combines his skills in web content creation, journalism, and social media strategy to advocate for neurodiversity. His commitment to self-advocacy is evident in the engaging content he produces, which includes insightful articles, personal anecdotes, and resources for others navigating similar paths. Reed is also in the process of writing his second book, further expanding his reach and influence within the autism community.
Key projects include collaborations with local organizations to promote awareness and understanding of autism, as well as initiatives aimed at empowering neurodivergent individuals through skill-building workshops and mentorship programs. Reed's expertise in recipe optimization and content management shines through in his culinary endeavors with Purple Chin Condiment Co., where he creatively uses locally sourced ingredients to craft unique BBQ and hot sauces. By intertwining his culinary passion with his advocacy work, Reed not only showcases the talents of neurodivergent individuals but also challenges societal perceptions of autism, proving that being "not weird" is a celebration of authenticity and diversity.
