is a Los Angeles native whose distinctive writing and filmmaking voice she attributes to her American West and Mexican heritage in addition to being neurodivergent.
Michelle established For Neurodivergents to not only empower NDs but to fund Fair Treatment for Neurodivergents' efforts.
The United States government and corporate partnerships are recruiting and employing "neurodivergents" in cyber intelligence positions and calling it neurodiversity while funding California Regional Centers that have not been updated in crucial ways since the Lanterman Retardation Services Act in 1969 that removed people with "retardation" out of state hospitals so that they could live in the community and be with their families.
In five hours over 2 days, NDs become familiar with their autonomy and agency. They learn to identify and express their wants and needs, and how to listen to and respect those of others. Most importantly, they come away with a more solid sense of self and the self-awareness that strengthens their Voice and confidence.
The Get it Right Store is the primary source to raise funding for We Rise Together Interactive Theater for Neurodivergents and On the Spectrum In a Crisis Safety Training, which are provided free to communities. We ask for a small donation to help our volunteer facilitators cover the cost they incur to bring to you and facilitate the two-day event.
