Hi! I’m Benino, I’m 13 years old and have autism. Life was always tough for a long time since I didn’t know that I had autism, but I felt like something was different with me.

However, life took a turn when I found out that I have autism. That’s when I realized I am “Different, Not Less.”

Since then, I started trying and researching things to cope with my autism. We can’t do things the same way neurotypicals do. We need to know the autistic traits, how they impact us, and what we are to do about them.

Our brains work uniquely: we process senses differently, feel emotions far more intensely, and hold on to our rituals religiously. I want to teach people to understand these traits, learn how to cope, and see just how amazing the autistic brain is. I want to share my stories, and my experiences.

So, let’s embrace our differences together, and let’s show the world how awesome we are!
