Dr.
Rebecca Evanko is autistic.
Abandoned
at 15 and a high-school dropout, through her life she endured ostracism and
loneliness, learned indelible truths, orchestrated her own spectacular
failures, and experienced moments of success. Through this, she found her way
to trust, love, confidence – and joy.
Her life illustrates autistic struggle in
a neurotypical world, yet also illuminates that autistic people, when given the
right support, can flourish.
