Named the 2022 Advocate of the Year by the Autism Society of America, Russell Lehmann is a national board member for The Arc and sits on numerous other boards. He is also a consultant for the US Department of Justice.
Russell showed signs of autism as a newborn, however, he was not formally diagnosed until the
age of 12 after suffering through 5 weeks in a lockdown psychiatric facility. He subsequently withdrew from the world due to being hurt and misunderstood, resulting in prevalent isolation for the next 15+ years.
Russell has lectured for schools in London and Abu Dhabi, and in 2022 was invited to the Finnish Parliament to discuss government supports that are needed in Finland for individuals on the spectrum.
