I AM a high-functioning autistic teenager. At 18 months old, I was diagnosed with moderate autism disorder, which hindered my ability to talk, and build social interactions with others.
My parents started exposing me to early intervention programmes when I was two years old. I was lucky to have a mentor named Khor Soo Nee, who taught me basic self-care skills like eating and bathing, and communication skills. Without her guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to communicate with my parents.
