Aaron Likens: Understanding Autism from the Other Side of the Wall

Aaron Likens, Autism Ambassador for Easter Seals Midwest, to give talk about the importance of Autism Awareness

A recipient of the prestigious Mental Health Champion award given by the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Aaron has found an opportunity to share with the world how the autism mind works through his position as Easter Seals Midwest’s Autism Ambassador.

Having been diagnosed later in life, Aaron is committed to “the race for autism awareness and understanding,” advocating for early intervention services and helping our community better understand autism – how it feels, how individuals face unique issues and challenges, and how to interact with someone with autism.

His inspirational message is full of laughter, tears and hope, and promises to leave a lasting impression on all ages. We hope to see you at one of the events listed below!
