Positive Exposure: Mads & B

MADS

A recent graduate of UofL School of Public Health, I’m in my first semester of graduate studies in Epidemiology and Population Health. I’m 25, engaged to my partner of 8 years, with 2 rescue pups. I’m getting married in 2025! As someone who is trans and autistic, I hope to play a role in revolutionizing care for autistic people and raise my voice for trans rights, amidst the political vitriol. I am full of love and passion and I think every trans, and every autistic person deserves to feel the love and freedom I do.

B

Always searching for an outlet of expression, I found music to be the lane for me to occupy. Learning I have ADHD at 20 years old was the best thing for me to understand how to accommodate myself in spaces designed for neurotypical individuals. I hope anyone who thinks they might be neuro-divergent in any way feels safe and celebrated when wishing to discuss that with loved ones and medical personnel.
