Armando J. Bernal

“The Biggest misconception about autism is that it looks a certain way. In reality, autism is a spectrum of hopes, dreams, and a desire to be ourselves.”

Armando Bernal is a neurodivergent board certified behavior analyst who supports patients between the ages of 2-25-years-old. In addition, Armando provides autistic consultation, parent and therapist consultation, speaking engagements for companies across the nation, and supervision and mentorship to other BCBAs and therapists. Armando has also participated in several collaborations with Vanderbilt University and the Suny Empire State University meant to further support self-advocacy and independence for individuals with autism.

Armando is also the founder of Autism International Consulting, PLLC, a self-advocacy-centered organization which provides in-home ABA, in-clinic ABA, and international consultation. They are also the distributor of the podcast, “A Different Path.” He hopes to spread awareness and acceptance of autism by interviewing and sharing the stories of other individuals with autism.
