The author extends a special thank you to Ashley Puchalski, one of his first and best LRW students, who saw potential in him just as he in her-the journey of professor and student always evolving. Additionally, he would like to thank his TA Lara Carpenter for sending him research which shaped this article when he was in a wifi-desert in western Maryland for months this summer. He also could not have written this article without the love and support of Andrea Johnson (human spouse), Pup Johnson-Stump (oldest dog child), and Sam Johnson-Stump (youngest dog child). This article is dedicated to the professors who saw what the middle school guidance counselors did not- that he was capable, worthy, and good, as well as other Autistic people who deserve to be seen as necessary, wanted, and contributors in the workplace.
