Dani Bowman is an autistic animator, entrepreneur, and educator who founded DaniMation Entertainment to help people on the autism spectrum develop creative and professional skills. Through her work and advocacy, she empowers neurodivergent individuals to pursue their passions and build meaningful careers.

In this episode, Dani reflects on her journey in animation and business, her experience on Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum, and her company DaniMation. The episode highlights the many ways Dani creates learning and employment opportunities for neurodivergent adults. The conversation also explores relationships, self-advocacy, and what authentic autism acceptance looks like in everyday life.

This episode is a kick-off to Autism Acceptance Month and our Understanding Disability campaign. At Easterseals, we know that disability looks different for every person, and support should be tailored to individual strengths, goals, and needs.
