As a fellow late-identified neurodivergent Vietnamese American, I deeply respect his ability to transform lived experience into accessible education, research-based storytelling, and policy-informed advocacy. As a developmental and behavioral scientist, my research and advocacy work have focused on understanding the intersection of mental health, neurodevelopmental disabilities, and social inequalities. I am a Research Assistant Professor at George Mason University and the Assistant Director of Community Engagement at the Center for Advancing Systems Science and Bioengineering Innovation. In my role, I focus on research that centers people with lived experience and advocates for inclusive and accessible systems, services, and technologies. Given my expertise and commitment to advancing disability and neurodiversity inclusion, I hold Dennis's work in the highest regard. Dennis's work is uniquely shaped by his experiences growing up in a low-income immigrant household, where he faced the cultural silence and stigma surrounding disability and mental health. Dennis’s work bridges the intersections of disability justice, neurodiversity, and Asian American identity. His story is one of resilience, and it is this very lived experience that has fueled his passion to create representation, connection, and belonging for others who share these intersections. Through his work, Dennis has created spaces that affirm the voices and identities of disabled and neurodivergent Asian Americans, a group that has long been excluded from both Asian American and disability narratives.
