Mandeep K AtwalMANDEEP K. ATWAL has been an advocate for human rights and equality since she was a young child born in Medicine Hat, Alberta. She received her law degree from the University of Ottawa and articled in Toronto, Ontario with a criminal defense law firm where she was eventually hired. She went on to practice immigration law with the Department of Justice. In 2005, she moved back to Calgary, Alberta to begin her family with Samir. After her son was diagnosed with autism, she realized her true calling in life was to be an advocate for those living with autism. She soon began volunteering at organizations for autism support and took a more proactive role by speaking about autism in public schools, malls, local non-profit organizations and foundations, and even corporate businesses. Her first book, Noble Victory, is another step in her advocacy journey, and she hopes that by sharing her story, other families will feel inspired and gain strength in unity. Spreading awareness, fostering acceptance, and ensuring inclusion is the foundation of her advocacy work. Through this work she hopes that those living with autism will be afforded more opportunities to be open about their struggles and victories.Mandeep currently lives in Calgary, Alberta with her family and continues her advocacy work to this day.
