Special Chronicles Show Podcast

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and this encore episode of the Special Chronicles Podcast honors the voices, stories, and lived experiences that continue to deepen our understanding of autism. Hosted by Daniel Smrokowski, this episode revisits a lively, thoughtful, and deeply human conversation that continues to resonate years later. In this encore, Daniel sits down with Dr. Kerry Magro—a nationally recognized speaker, bestselling author, consultant, and leading autism advocate. Kerry shares his remarkable journey from being nonverbal as a young child to becoming a powerful voice within the autism community. His message reflects strength and self-definition, captured in his belief: “Autism can’t define me… I define autism.” The conversation explores Kerry’s early years, his diagnosis, and the obstacles he worked to overcome, along with his nonprofit work through KFM Making a Difference. Listeners will hear how he built a career as a sought-after public speaker, the stories behind the books he has written
