“Finding My Voice Through Music and Self-Expression”

-A BRAVE Story of Rhythm, Resilience, and Rising Above

Hello my name is Carlos. I’m 21 years old and I have autism. I was diagnosed when I was 3 years old. I started speech therapy and by 6 years, I started talking independently. Later on, I was diagnosed with a rare condition CLTC disorder, osteoporosis and epilepsy. My mom was told I would never speak by myself, but she pushed me and today I think I speak well, and I love to sing. I make my own music, and I love sharing it on all platforms. I am a very social but nervous person when it comes to new people. I hope to help people one day who are like me.
