Have you ever noticed how "normal" people tend to view people with autism as broken, partial people?
Rosie King is autistic, but she doesn't need anyone's pity or judgment. She deserves our respect.
The 16-year-old is vibrant, chatty, and really funny. Her take on autism from her own experiences will make you rethink all your assumptions.
"If I was trying to fit myself into a box, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have achieved half the things that I have now."
What would you do if you didn't try to fit yourself in a box?
If listening to her made you a bit less afraid to be unique, share this video.
