Today on the Let Yourself Sparkle Podcast, Ben Levin shares that “Autism is not a curse – it is a gift.”

Ben Levin is an autistic teenage with a passion for writing. He has released his first young adult novel, “In The Hole” (Jumpmaster Press), about a  nine-year-old boy named David- who finds his safe and secure world unexpectedly unraveling after discovering his father has lost the family restaurant business , and subsequently their home. Forced to live in a borrowed car until it too is lost, David, together with his parents and sister, Julia, desperately seek shelter. After finding temporary housing in a decrepit inn, together with other individuals facing homelessness, David struggles to maintain a sense of normalcy even as his family faces the challenges and trauma of being homeless. Over time, through hard work and the support of their family and community, David searches for the inner strength and outward skills needed to help his family triumph over their dire circumstances.

Ben shares with us how our challenges are often not related to our dreams and should not stop us from pursuing our passions, and how if we just embrace who we are we will have the ability to thrive.  Ben is a true inspiration to all around him.

I used to think it was selfish to focus on self care, but then I realized that when you show up with good energy, your light inspires the light to force its way out of others so that they can let themselves sparkle too. You are an instrument of change, adding so much light to the world.
