In this episode of Shining Through: Inspiring Voices of Autism, host Jennifer Dantzler sits down with Matthew Hannah — a thoughtful self-advocate, public speaker, and virtual reality game master — to talk about life on the autism spectrum from a perspective not often heard.
Diagnosed with autism in the early 2000s, Matthew shares how early interventions and strong family support helped shape his journey — but he also opens up about the challenges of being "high-functioning" in a world that still struggles with understanding what that really means.
This is not just a story about autism — it’s a story about identity, navigating the workplace, redefining success, and learning when and how to show up authentically.
