Living the Word Through Physical Challenges: Comfortable with Who I Am Living the Word Beyond Sunday Morning the Podcast
-
- Christianity
On today’s episode, we’re talking about Autism, a condition that would be viewed as a mental challenge. Autism is a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior. Today, I am speaking with Mr. Maurice Snell who is living his best life with autism.
Maurice Snell is an individual living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and currently resides in Chicago, Illinois. His story began at Easter Seals as a youth when he was a client of what was then the Easter Seals Therapeutic Day School for individuals with autism.
After eight years at Easter Seals, Maurice transitioned to Benito Juarez Community Academy High School. There, he was involved in many activities such as the Marine Corps Junior ROTC, Juarez Eagles Concert and Marching Band. He graduated in 2002 as a member of the National Honor Society ranked 13th of his senior class and then attended Saint Xavier University. During his time at Saint Xavier, he participated in various organizations such as the Student Success Program and their Concert Band. He graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor’s in Liberal Studies.
Maurice worked at Easter Seals Metropolitan Chicago until this year, in which he’s currently employed at De La Salle Institute in Chicago as the Development Coordinator. Aside from his busy work schedule, Maurice continues to serve as an ambassador and inspirational story to many families impacted by autism and other special needs.
Original music written, produced, and performed by Jasmine N. Weathers (IG: Jasthanomad)
Focal scripture: Philippians 4:10-13
