While Keri and Taylor travel together to screen their film and provide seminars and talks, Taylor is embarking on a new “solo” tour — one without mom!

“Taylor and Autism Unraveled” is part of a revolutionary and innovative pilot program Taylor is involved with in his home state of California. The program, called Micro Enterprising was designed to support Taylor in creating a business plan to develop practical skills as a business owner. His business? Public speaking — all without mom!

The program which focuses on career development vs. job coaching, is supported by California’s Tri Counties Regional Center and Work Training Programs, Inc. Taylor works with business coach, Tara Gustafson, to develop business skills, including buying office supplies, writing speeches and letters, and booking speaking engagements. Taylor and Tara work 20 hours per week on practical, business, and platform skills, Taylor often shares the Micro Enterprising concept as a part of his talks.

At 6’10” tall, Taylor commands the stage with humor, vulnerability and experience that keep audiences entertained as they learn about life and living with autism in an entirely new way. Taylor’s talks include a 90 minute screening of his film (short version available), with a Q&A after the film. Taylor travels with his business coach at all times for support in travel and talks/presentations. For fees and availability contact Taylor at autismunraveled@yahoo.com
