About Me

My name is Mya Thomas, and I am 24 years old. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science with focal areas in Neuropsychology, Neuroscience, and Cognitive Psychology. Currently I work as a Pediatric Developmental Autistic Specialist and an Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Registered Behavior Technician. I started this initiative as a platform specifically for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as I continue to be inspired by the clients I work with each day. At TheParentPartner, I believe in creating a supportive and understanding community for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. With the assistance of experienced educators and parents with first-hand experience in the world of ASD, my blog aims to offer practical advice, emotional support, and resources that cater to the needs of ASD families. From navigating real-world challenges to fostering social skills and advocating for your child's needs, we cover a wide range of topics to assist you on every step of your journey. My mission is to empower you with knowledge, connect you with a supportive community, and be a partner in overcoming every obstacle and celebrating every achievement.
