Doctors told Khylil's parents when he was a child that his autism was so severe he would never walk or talk. I'm now happy to say though he's been accepted into Temple University majoring in communications! Congratulations dude!

Kelly is diagnosed with autism and wishes there was more understanding in the world for those with differences. She is beginning to use her voice to advocate in the hopes of changing lives for the better in the process.

Malcolm was diagnosed with Pediatric Cancer at 10. His doctors told him because of the severity he didn't have much time left a few months after the diagnosis. Now at 20 I'm happy to say he's in remission and has even started a foundation to help others with a similiar diagnosis. Let's say hi to Malcolm!

Kristen was diagnosed with autism and loves art and music. Due to bullying and other forms of abuse she was once afraid to leave her house and tried to commit suicide in the past. Today she wants to surround herself with positive people to be friends with and for our society to be more accepting of others. Let's all wish Kristen nothing but the best in this world! :)
