Russell Lehmann
This charismatic activist and motivational speaker is an acclaimed author and poet on autism, mental health, and disability.
He is the International Disability Rights Advocate at UCLA’s Tarjan Center for Disabilities in Los Angeles.
Russell has become a beacon of inspiration. He shares his intense and painful personal journey of being diagnosed with autism at age 12 … after 5 weeks in a lockdown psychiatric ward for phobias and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.
His powerful message of self-advocacy and acceptance has had a positive and life-changing impact on many. His advocacy and activism regularly help increase understanding and support for individuals with disabilities.
