Episode 23 Robert Schmus on Autism

Robert Schmus, MSW, LCSW, serves as a mental health professional, as well as an autistic self advocate. In his practice, Robert supports the neurodiverse community, including autistic individuals, using a variety of therapeutic interventions. His experience as a clinical professional on the autism spectrum places him in a unique role. As a self-advocate, Robert has experience educating communities on topics relating to the autistic and neurodiverse communities, such as employment, relationships, mental health, independence, and self advocacy. He has done this through podcast interviews and speaking at conferences. Such examples include being a keynote speaker at the 44th Annual Philadelphia Regional Developmental Disabilities Conference at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in October 2022, as well as conducting a workshop on social networking at the Massachusetts Advocates Standing Strong (MASS) 25th Gala and Self Advocacy Conference in May 2023. He and a colleague have even created a group where they offer such services called Schmus & St. Clair (www.schmusstclair.com).
