The Gold Standard Podcast

From MySpace to Behavior Science: Dr. Shelby Dorsey on Authenticity, Autism, and Internet Stardom

BDA Season 1 Episode 14

In this special CalABA edition of The Gold Standard Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Shelby Dorsy—behavior analyst, entrepreneur, and founder of The SD Store. Shelby brings us on a bold, hilarious, and deeply personal journey, from navigating teen pregnancy in rural Texas to becoming a viral voice on Twitter and a leader in the ABA world.

She shares how social media became a powerful communication tool as an autistic person, how she built a brand and family in the public eye, and the unique challenges and rewards of raising neurodivergent children in a digital age. Whether you're here for the MySpace nostalgia or the unapologetic take on identity, duality, and behavioral science, this episode is one you won’t forget.


Brett DiNovi & Associates & all subsidiaries deploy consultants across more than 300 schools/organizations using applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles to help people, from students with developmental disabilities to coaching leaders of industries worldwide.
