Quote:
Russell Lehmann was diagnosed with autism at the age of 12.
Today, at the Sundance Bookstore in Midtown, he spoke to a crowd about his new book "On the Outside Looking In."
During his travels, Lehmann wants to be a voice for those who feel unheard. His new book, according to Lehmann, is a raw and transparent look at his life's difficulties and how he overcame them.
After reading this book he hopes people will find the courage to find their passion and make their mark on the world despite their difficulties.
Russell Lehmann has been internationally recognized as a poet, author, motivational speaker and advocate.
He has served as a council member for the Autism Society of America and sat on the Nevada Governor's Council on Development Disabilities. Currently, Lehmann is the Youth Ambassador for Mayor Hillary Schieve.
