Austism Awareness + Pushing Outside The Comfort Zone with Ryan Steiner
Why is there so much misinformation about the autistic community? What does autism really look like?
Ryan Steiner stops by the No Excuses Podcast to share his experience as an autistic man, his commitment to educating the public during Autistic Awareness month and his journey with his autistic daughter Kala. Ryan brings his daughter on his long runs and has achieved a major weight loss transformation. He’s currently training for his first Tough Mudder event this summer.
"I don’t like to be touched, but I’ve learned that I change the most when I push myself into uncomfortable situations. The first time I saw anything Tough Mudder I thought that would be exhilarating... I’d be terrified the whole time."
