Feature Wall At School Of Famous/successful Autistic People
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello everyone, for April autism awareness month I suggested the school feature some famous/successful autistic people. I have a surfer, a tech specialist, and an actor. Do you guys know of any people that you think would be a great example? Thank you all.

Tarik El-Abour, he is a basball player who recently signed with the Kansas City Royals, minor league, read his story, it’s great!
I have also had my suspicions with Zach Greinke, pitcher, but whatever.
