Autism has affected my life since I was a child, confused by my brother, Brian’s behavior and slow development. And yet, I believe that I am a stronger person for having lived through the challenges that come with being a sister to an autistic sibling.

Living with Brian and defending him and other special needs children against those who would criticize them has also developed in me a deep yearning to support this cause.

I am passionate about helping other families living with autism, and I am writing a book, Love Beyond Measure: A Sibling’s Journey Through Autism and Faith that will share my life experiences with the world. I envision this memoir as a springboard to help grow my platform as an advocate to those with autistic siblings.

I have developed Hunt-Sampey Events, LLC that provides strategic planning, events management, marketing and public relations support to Michigan non-profits. We help to raise funds specifically for children’s charities and especially charities that support Autism.
