    An inspiring story! Sometimes I share the same feelings with you. Even though I am not autistic, I am also weak at socialising. Do not have many friends, always get the wrong message in communications, etc.
    So brave to share your own experience with all of us. Keep up the effort! 💪

    Mr Bergantz
    Believe there are people who think they are from this planet but don’t have the courage, the eloquence and the intellect to stand in this stage and talk so articulate like you did. You are an inspiration. You are truly out of this planet!

    You are a wonderful speaker! I know you will inspire many who struggle with the issues of being in the autism spectrum. It is a very wide spectrum.

    Thank you.
    My daughter at 6 years old, bullies started telling my daughter "You're not human." and throw food in her face. Being otherwise very well liked and happy in school she avoided telling me until I was told by a friend that something was wrong.
    I will show her your presentation.

      Oh my. I'm sorry that your daughter has to go through that. Nobody shouldn't feel and treated that way. I hope she'll have happy memories from now on.❤
