Peter Jung is the Advocacy Director at Behavior Bridges, and the main facilitator for the gaming social group program. He completed his Master’s in Education focusing on curriculum design from the University of Washington, Tacoma in Spring of 2012, and shortly after began running Dungeons and Dragons Autism Groups in Bellevue, before eventually joining Behavior Bridges. He has also completed the Therapeutic Dungeon Master certification from Geek Therapeutics.
He is autistic himself, and benefited greatly from building community and friendship through gaming growing up. He has since turned that passion for community building into a lifelong pursuit of autism advocacy. He believes that building authentic community is one of the key components of healthy autistic development, and has done multiple talks on how to utilize tabletop role playing games and video gaming to organically build autistic led community. He brings this passion and love for helping autistics develop self advocacy skills through community building to his work at Behavior Bridges.
In his free time, he plays a lot of tabletop role playing games, and enjoys bad movies.
