Jenna Meehan
Autistic and ADHD caregiver of autistic children, Occupational Therapist
Why are you interested in this project: I learned I was autistic after my child’s diagnosis. I realized I was heavily masking and was teaching others how to mask. I wanted to grow in my understanding of myself and my needs and how to support others to get their needs met in ways that felt best for them. I want to center disability justice within disability support and research.
Favorite Hobbies/interests from childhood: I loved Disney movies and Full House- I learned and imitated so much from them.
Favorite Hobbies/interests right now: I love learning Dutch and Italian, drawing, reading, being with animals and children, and connecting social justice support within my community.
