When Cody Clark was diagnosed with autism, a doctor told his mother he'd never speak, let alone drive. As an adult, Cody drives across the country, speaking about autism advocacy to his audiences. He's also a performer (magician) and a successful entrepreneur.

Cody's story about learning to drive inspired the first episode of "The Voice Inside"! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/lEOUcWJtmcI

In this interview, Cody Clark tells Gena Sims (producer of "The Voice Inside") his success story, as a driver, magician, and autism advocate.
