Autism Awareness with Jeff Ullrich

About this episode

Our friend, Jeff Ullrich, joins us to answer our questions about autism. April is Autism Awareness Month and we’re excited to understand more from Jeff, who learned that he was autistic in January 2020, at the age of 45. Jeff is a podcast OG - co-founded Earwolf in 2010, founded Midroll Media in 2013 and Howl in 2015. He then sold all three companies in 2015 for a number of reasons (he’ll explain!). Now, he has launched Dove Orchids, a 100% autistic owned and operated for-profit company with a mission to work with peers, partners and allies to improve the quality of life for autistic people while also improving workplaces, homes and lives for everyone — because he and the team at Dove Orchids understand that everyone (not just those who are autistic) benefits from including autistic people because they bring unique insights and valuable contributions. They work to reduce stigma and increase opportunities while creating a world where autistic people are the authorities of their own lives; are understood, accepted, and valued for who they truly are.
