Diagnosed with autism at 23 years old, this NC woman prides herself on being an advocate for the autism community.

The 28-year-old North Carolina resident didn't fit in with her peers. She struggled socially with brutal honesty which caused a lot of her friendships to end. "They are socialized slightly differently and this is in part due to autism but also being misunderstood and potentially marginalized," said Dr. Clare Harrop, UNC School of Medicine Assistant Professor.
