Phillip McGruder: 'Believe Autism Matters'


Phillip McGruder: 'Believe Autism Matters'

Phillip McGruder, B.G.S. Liberal Arts & Sciences (2017)

For nearly all his life, KU College alumnus Phillip McGruder has felt a duty to make an impact on the world. Inspired by his mother's determination to earn a college degree during the American civil rights movement, he was driven to be a role model for those who may not otherwise have one. And, having been diagnosed with autism early in life, he faced social stigmas of his own growing up.
