I completed the last 5% of my competition tonight with on-stage question. My question, essentially, was, "What is the most important thing people need to know about Autism Spectrum Disorder?" Well my answer, and the basis of my platform, was that autism is not an insurmountable barrier. I spoke about Trevor's successes in academics and extra curricular activities DESPITE his challenges. With a strong community and family support system, people with ASD have the potential to thrive and become contributing members of society.
It felt amazing to finish this last 5%. I walked off stage that night and threw my hands in the air with excitement. I know that, regardless of what the judges decide on Saturday night, I did my absolute best in every area of competition. I will not be leaving Las Vegas with any regrets.
