A speaker, a son, and a guy who refused the ceiling.
Austinn Weaver is an autism motivational speaker and author. He earned his B.A. while navigating a system that wasn't built with him in mind, and he's spent the years since making sure the next person on the spectrum has a clearer path.
Austinn grew up being told what he probably wouldn't do. He chose a different script. He went to college, finished his degree, and started telling the truth about what life on the spectrum actually looks like — the wins, the wipeouts, and the quiet middle that nobody warns you about.
Today he travels to schools, churches, and conferences, sharing a message that lands the same way every time: everything is possible with autism, no matter where on the spectrum.
When he's not on the road, he co-hosts a podcast with his dad Eric, guests on shows about disability, faith, and family, and works on his next book.
He and Eric also co-own Get-Fit Training Systems, a 24/7 personal-training gym in Prescott, Arizona — home of Weaver Nutrition and the same "together we succeed" attitude Austinn brings to every stage.

In his own words
"I'm not here to be inspirational. I'm here to be honest. If that ends up being useful to someone, good."
