With the help of his uncle, a young man has revealed what it’s really like growing up with autism.
James Kavanagh asked his 13-year-old nephew Sean a series of questions to raise awareness about the condition.
Sean explains that he has atypical autism before going into more detail about his daily life and giving some advice for those who don’t have autism.
He finishes off with a lovely message, saying: “Just understand that they’re different and they see the world in their own perspective.”
James uploaded the Snapchat video to his Facebook page and it’s getting a fantastic reaction with over 120,000 views and almost 4,000 likes.
Many people praised Sean for producing such an informative clip and for spreading awareness about autism.
One commenter wrote: “Omg he's an amazing young man well done great perspective on autism”. Another said: “Such an amazing kid and he explains it so well”.
