Amanda Trisdale – Let Them Dance: Building a Space Where Autistic Kids Belong
In this premiere episode of Complex Kids, Simple Solutions, Michelle is joined by Amanda Trisdale—a passionate mom, disability advocate, and the driving force behind a revolutionary dance space for autistic children.
Amanda opens up about what pushed her to say, “enough is enough,” and create something entirely new for her daughter, Leta. What started as a personal mission became a community movement—and now it’s reshaping how dance, inclusion, and support intersect for neurodivergent kids.
Together, Michelle and Amanda explore what it means to truly create a space where autistic children don’t have to prove their worth to belong. This is a conversation about vision, advocacy, and making space—not just for movement, but for growth, expression, and self-worth.
And yes… there’s laughter, heart, and even a surprise guest moment at the end.
