Show Notes
I interviewed Joel Felsenstein, a music teacher and the founder/CEO of RockstarX who is on the autism spectrum. Joel shares his intimate story of his time in school with being on the spectrum. He also shares his mission and work of his company he started called RockstarX. He has a goal to open up his own music school, and use music and the space to have conversations about autism. His information is down below in the show notes if you want to connect with Joel. He is an amazing human being, and it was such an honor to interview Joel and share his story. So many important ideas shared about autism acceptance. Enjoy!
