The Grit and Grind of Autism- Finding Light Along the Journey
Let’s be real — autism parenting is tough. It’s gritty, it’s raw, and it can feel unbelievably lonely.
Welcome to the space where we say the quiet parts out loud. We’re diving into the messy, emotional, unfiltered truth of raising a child with autism — the things most people are afraid to talk about. These are the conversations that need to happen.
If you’ve ever felt isolated, judged, exhausted, or like no one truly gets it — this is for you.
This journey isn’t easy, but there is light to be found — in connection, in truth, in resilience. Together, we’ll explore tools, share stories, and hold space for the hard stuff and the hope.

Innovation - From Social Skills to Tesla to an Employment Company Tailored Towards Non-Speaking Individuals w/ Conner Reinhardt
Meet Conner the COO and Co-Founder of Mentra. He is an engineer, athlete and musician. Conner's story is so interesting and inspiring. Every parent and young adult with an autism diagnosis should have a listen.
As a recently-diagnosed neurodivergent, I've witnessed the extraordinary talents of the neurodiverse community firsthand. Behind the layers of inefficiency in today's hiring process, there is immense potential to innovate a new system that's able to value and recognize these key players in the workforce of tomorrow.
At Mentra, we're placing neurodiversity at the core of recruiting in a way that scales, treating every individual's brain as unique and more than just a resume. We're accomplishing this at scale using an AI-powered job-matching platform and a human-centered design approach that builds a holistic profile of a job seeker's mind and matches them with the environments in which they will thrive.
