    Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ?

    Autism, Mental Health, Advocacy & Human Stories.

    Embracing Autism/Mental Health Worldwide.

    Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition affecting millions worldwide, characterized by challenges in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Despite increasing recognition, there remains a lack of understanding and awareness about the condition. 

    Mental health encompasses a range of conditions impacting emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting millions globally. It includes disorders like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychosis. Schizophrenia is marked by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking, while psychosis involves a loss of contact with reality, often presenting with similar symptoms. 

    Despite growing awareness, stigma and misconceptions about mental health, particularly schizophrenia and psychosis, persist, underscoring the need for greater understanding and support. 

    From celebrating neurodiversity to breaking down stigma, we create a safe space for listeners to learn, grow, and feel seen. 

    Whether you’re on the spectrum, a caregiver, or an advocate, join our global community for inspiring conversations and empowering resources that uplift and unite. 

    Tune in to embrace understanding, healing, and hope worldwide! 

    Together, we can create a more informed and compassionate society for individuals with Autism and Mental Illness.

    Jerry Turning shares his journey from veteran police officer to autism advocate after his son's diagnosis, creating Blue Bridge Autism Training to educate first responders about autism.

    His unique perspective bridges the gap between law enforcement and the autism community, helping prevent dangerous misunderstandings during crisis situations.

    • Turning spent 22 of his 25-year police career as a canine handler before his son's autism diagnosis changed everything
    • Police often misinterpret autism behaviors as intoxication, evasiveness, or defiance due to lack of training
    • Turning teaches officers to recognize autism indicators like stimming, echolalia, and sensory challenges
    • First responders need to understand they're entering high-stress environments where families may struggle to communicate clearly
    • Registration systems allow families to pre-record information about triggers and de-escalation techniques
    • Parents should proactively introduce their autistic children to local police during calm periods
    • Simple community connections often prove more effective than formal training alone
    • Both police and families benefit from approaching these situations with humility and openness

    Dr. Theresa Haskins shares her journey from a mother seeking answers for her autistic son to becoming an educator and researcher dedicated to creating more inclusive systems for neurodivergent individuals.

    Her experiences navigating medical dismissals, educational barriers, and workplace challenges illuminate how society needs to fundamentally shift its approach to neurodiversity.

    • Mother of a "thrice exceptional" son (autistic, ADHD, and gifted) who could count to 100 at age two but wasn't speaking conversationally
    • Left special education program after realizing conventional teaching approaches didn't align with her son's needs
    • Pursued educational psychology and doctorate degrees to understand how to change systems, not just help individuals adapt
    • Advocates for autonomous learning and choice-making rather than taking away agency from neurodivergent individuals
    • Challenges organizations to focus on meeting people's needs without requiring them to "prove" their disability
    • Questions arbitrary job requirements that create barriers for neurodivergent talent
    • Emphasizes that different developmental paths aren't lesser ones – just different
    • Works with universities, government agencies, and organizations to implement neurodiversity-affirming practices
    • Promotes universal design principles that benefit everyone, not just those with disabilities
    • Believes we need to value diverse skills and stop measuring everyone against neurotypical milestones

    You and your family matter. You exist, you deserve to thrive, you deserve education, you deserve gainful employment, you deserve respect, and that's what we work towards.

    Judge Soonhee(Sunny) Bailey: Breaking the Cycle and Creating America's First Autism Court Program Apr 01, 2025

    Judge Sonny Bailey shares how she created the nation's only court dedicated to helping autistic youth stay out of the criminal justice system.

    What began in 2018 as a quieter courtroom for one overwhelmed teen has evolved into an innovative program with a 90% success rate, recently recognized through Nevada legislation as the country's first official neurodiversity specialty court.

    • Autism court began accidentally when officers brought in an overwhelmed teen who needed a quieter environment
    • Program uses applied behavioral analysis and positive reinforcement instead of punishment
    • Success looks different for each youth—from college preparation to simply learning not to punch walls
    • Late diagnosis (some at age 16+) means many youth missed years of early intervention
    • Court addresses entire family system through parent training and consistent approaches
    • 90% success rate with over 100 graduates since program began
    • Program started with minimal resources—"a box of fruit snacks and chips"
    • New legislation will expand services to include other forms of neurodiversity
    • Many autistic youth are in foster care due to family breakdowns and behavioral challenges
    • Parents should immediately alert legal authorities about a child's autism to ensure proper accommodations

    What if discovering your true self could transform your entire life journey?
    Join me, Tony Mantor, as I sit down with the insightful Gabriella Russo for a powerful discussion on self-discovery and acceptance within the autistic community.
    Gabriella shares her personal narrative, revealing how her godchild's involvement with an autism support group prompted her own recognition of being autistic. Through her candid reflections, she recounts overcoming challenges like an abusive marriage and workplace bullying, ultimately embracing her identity and finding solace in self-diagnosis and community support.
    Gabriella's story is a testament to the profound impact of understanding one's unique identity, especially when faced with a late autism diagnosis.

    Together, Gabriella and I explore the broader landscape of neurodiversity and the importance of advocacy.
    We delve into the significance of self-diagnosis, the therapeutic journey to self-acceptance, and the often challenging path autistic individuals face in professional settings.
    Discover how self-employment can serve as a refuge, harnessing personal strengths while avoiding burnout.
    Our conversation also highlights the critical need for comprehensive training in safeguarding, mental health, and neurodiversity to genuinely support neurodivergent individuals across their lifespan, addressing both their vulnerabilities and their strengths.

    Finally, we touch on the complexities surrounding autism diagnoses later in life, particularly for women and people of color.
    Gabriella underscores the personal empowerment found in connecting with others who share similar experiences and stresses the importance of therapy and self-acceptance.
    As we wrap up, Gabriella shares how she engages with her audience through various platforms, emphasizing advocacy for the autistic community.
    We encourage listeners with compelling stories to reach out and perhaps join future episodes, fostering a space for support and continued advocacy.

    This Autism Awareness Month, we're bringing you a bold, electrifying, special event.

    Why Not Me the World, Humanity Over Handcuffs, The Silent Crisis special event. We will sit down with judges, lawyers, CIT trainers, therapists, legislators, and more.

    They will share gripping stories that will hopefully ignite change.

    Understanding can rewrite justice.

    What happens when a corporate professional turns a personal health crisis into a transformative journey of healing and understanding?
    Join us as we explore Emma Textra's remarkable story, where her corporate acumen meets her passion for holistic health to better support her autistic son. Emma's shift from conventional medicine to embracing dietary changes, nutrient therapy, and supplements is a testament to the power of addressing the whole body.
    Her insights and experiences uncover the intricate connections between physical and mental health, offering a new perspective on managing Asperger's and ADHD.

    The teenage years are challenging for any parent, but when your child has neurodiverse needs, the stakes are higher.
    Emma shares the effective interventions that have helped her son navigate adolescence, from the use of probiotics and supplements like True Hope Empower Plus to the transformative effects of neurofeedback on social skills. She opens up about the unique challenges brought on by the social isolation of COVID, and how tailored strategies, encouragement, and social skills classes have played crucial roles in building her son's confidence and independence.
    Her story is one of resilience and hope, offering invaluable insights for parents in similar situations.

    Emma's dedication to understanding the root causes of health issues goes beyond her personal story.
    She advocates for natural health alternatives and emphasizes the importance of nutrition, exercise, and a holistic approach to mental health.
    Drawing from her book, "How to Be a Healthy Human," Emma sheds light on the impact of toxins and pharmaceuticals on our well-being, urging a shift towards identifying root causes rather than just treating symptoms.
    Her journey serves as a guiding light for anyone looking to explore natural methods for supporting behavioral and mental health challenges, especially in a world filled with environmental toxins.
