Welcome to the Autism, ADHD podcast. I am so happy that you join me today. I want to take a moment and ask for your help. Please take just a second and give the podcast a five-star review.

This will help me continue the podcast and keep bringing you

helpful information. Thanks so much again for taking the time to give that five-star review. Now,

let's get started. Welcome Amanda Moran to the Autism, ADHD podcast.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for inviting me on.

I am thrilled that you're here, and I want to introduce you real quick.

So Amanda Moran currently serves as the vice president of the learning and knowledge for the Jed Foundation.

She heads teams of committed researchers, subject matter experts,

and learning and development professionals and efforts to build knowledge about mental health,

neurodiversity, and disability to ensure all the work she's engaged in is evidence-based. I love that

and includes the most up-to-date thinking in our field. She provides unique expertise

and innovative perspectives to mission-driven education and family-facing organizations and

coalitions. Amanda works in print and digital media as a writer, an editor, empowering parents and

educators to affirm the pivotal roles they play in children's

education. She played an integral role. It's a mouthful and I need my second cup of coffee, Amanda.

No worries. Integral role. There we go. And launching understood.org in 2014. Amanda is also the author of five books, The Everything

Parents Guide to Special Education, the Everything Kids Learning Activities book, on the go fun for kids,

more than 250 activities to keep little ones busy and happy anytime, anywhere.

What is empathy, a bowling storybook for kids, and adulting made easy things someone should

have told you about getting your grown-up act together.

All amazing.
