Leslie Weed – The Autism Episode

What happens when a parent’s challenge becomes a mission that transforms thousands of lives? On Angels and Demons, the podcast that reminds you “You Are Not Alone,” we talk about the real battles behind mental health, resilience, and hope.

Today’s guest turned personal struggle into powerful advocacy. After navigating life with a daughter who is non-verbal and profoundly affected by autism, she stepped far beyond her own family’s story to fight for children, teens, and adults with autism across the country.

For more than a decade, she brought that fight to Washington, advocating at the national level, and later founded an organization dedicated to helping families access support, resources, and community. Her leadership has earned recognition from the PGA TOUR, the Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra Beach, the Ponte Vedra Chamber of Commerce, and her alma mater for her extraordinary commitment to enriching autistic lives. Her mission is simple but powerful: Helping Enrich Autistic Lives.

Please join me in welcoming the founder of the HEAL Foundation… Leslie Weed.
