Changing the Face of Autism in our community.
My name is Alexandria but sometimes my friends and family call me Alex. Living with ASD brings different challenges forward everyday, I see it as a good thing because it makes me smarter. I think differently than others, and this gives me a different perspective and that’s what makes me unique.
I love spending time with my friends and family! Sometimes you might see me jump and rub my hands together. It’s ok, this is a way for me to feel calm and some call it stimming.
Luna is my pet cat, she is a great friend to me because she head hugs me. I like it when she does this, it’s calming because sometimes the days stresses can be overwhelming.
Cleo is my other cat, she has a cute meow that makes it feel like she’s talking to me. That’s just one of the reasons I love my kitties. I spend a lot of my free time with them, as well as playing with my silicone babies!
