Mariah Person
Mariah received their official autism diagnosis at the age
of 25, in July 2019. They are an aspiring dance movement therapist, intending
to help people to heal and develop through movement, and help to understand the
significance of stimming. Currently, they create an accessibility conscious
curriculum for their dance/creative movement students. Mariah is still on the
recovery end of burnout & is exploring how they can be of use to
communities again. In 2019, they put on their first "autistic space"
event called Express Unbound and is looking forward to continuing creating
autistic lead accessible social spaces in the future."
