Cara & Autism

“I would be lying if I said that my lack of social skills stemming from my Autism has never been a problem. I am very lucky to have made some wonderful friends- but it can still be hard talking to people. But in spite of this, have found that my disability has been a benefit to me both at School and at University, as my ability to reel off endless amounts of information is actually very useful in Exams. But more than that, it is a core part of my personality. Having special interests, being nerdy, always knowing facts about various TV shows, movies and books, it’s who I am – and I wouldn’t change it for the world. That is My Plus.” – Cara Lee
