About Carly
Backed by the relentless and consistent determination of her family throughout the years, who never gave up on her, she has found her words today.
"It is hard to be autistic because no one understands me. People look at me and assume I am dumb because I can't speak."
What a story! Hurrah for her, her dedicated parents and family members!
