Always labelled as the "difficult" and "troublesome" child, Abraham shares honestly with us on this week's episode on how being diagnosed as a high functioning autistic individual has helped him come to terms with being different. Tune in to hear his daily struggle in adjusting his thinking to fit social norms, interactions with people and how he embraces life as young adult today in a healthy and positive way.
