Brundidge, an author and community activist, has three children on the autism spectrum and will talk about challenges that took her to the brink of despair, and how she persevered.
“I thought about just driving my 9-seater mini-van off a cliff when I woke up one morning with three children who couldn’t talk, make eye contact, follow simple commands or eat solid foods,” she said. “I thought, ‘God, why are you punishing me? What did I do to deserve this?’”
But today, Brundridge says she has turned her misery into a ministry, helping to empower, educate and inspire other parents who have kids on the autism spectrum.
She has worked with the Department of Health to promote the importance of early testing for autism and intervention in communities of color, and she has partnered with the NFL to create autism sensory-friendly rooms.
