Topic: Autism Spectrum Disorder

What Is It?: It’s a development disorder that affects the way people develop natural skills in life. It has a vast amount of symptoms and effects, so anyone who has autism can be different from everyone else. About 1 in 54 children have this diagnosis in the United States.

Why  Am I Covering This?: I have been diagnosed on the autism spectrum since I was three years old. Ever since I started my development, socializing and focusing on certain tasks have been especially difficult. In fact, I still struggle with it today. However, my diagnosis has been able to give me amazing strengths, like my sense of kindness and my increased amount of empathy for others. In short, I would like to highlight my life through the lens of my camera, as if they were my eyes.
