Just another inspirational young adult, Greta Thunberg who has Asperger's Syndrome.
Greta shot to fame with her lone protest. She camped outside of the Swedish parliament rather than going to school in order to get her message across about Climate change. She has gained Global recognition and support even invoking other student's worldwide to do the same.
She was brave enough to stand up and address the heads of state at the U.N. over climate change at the age of 16. In 2019, Greta did an interview with Time magazine and was featured on the front cover. You can read her interview by clicking the link below.

As we lead up to World Autism Awareness Day on Friday 2 April, the Forum will be raising awareness through 3 family case studies. How they are affected and their daily struggles. Each parent’s case study will focus on one of our priority areas. Our case studies aim to help other parents feel that they are not alone and that problems can be halved if shared.
Our first case study focuses on Education and tells the story of a child’s journey through school having received a diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Condition (or Asperger’s Syndrome), from his mother’s viewpoint.
