More about our Guest:
Celest Austin's appreciation and interest in her sister Amanda’s understanding of the world and way of thinking had led her to study more about autism and its uniqueness. She pursued a dual degree M.D. and Ph.D. from University of Texas School of Medicine at San Antonio and graduated in 2016 with her thesis focused on the neurophysiology of autism.
Wanting to take action immediately for her sister and the people in the autism community, she walked away from further medical training and finally founded and established GoManda! The company’s name is a homage to moments of celebration when Amanda is being cheered by their whole family, chanting “GoManda! GoManda!”
GoManda is dedicated to empowering autistic children by helping them accept, nurture, and cheer for their strengths. To uphold the vision of the company, Dr. Celest participates in all aspects of its business development.
