Girl With Severe Autism Defies Her Naysayers as She Graduates From High School

A yet to be identified lady who reportedly graduated from high school recently is the talk of the moment on social media. What makes her story peculiar is the fact that she is living with severe autism and is unable to speak.

According to her sister who shared this remarkable story online, the young graduate who is severely challenged has defied her naysayers, people who believed she wouldn’t make it due to her condition.

Her elated proud sister, Leanne took to her social media page to share the story;

“Today, my sister with severe autism, graduated from high school. People constantly said because she can’t talk she wouldn’t be able to, but we learn something new about her everyday & she continues to teach us anything is possible.

Congratulations C/O2k18! Anything is possible ~ Leanne.”

Following her post, a commenter who congratulated Leanne’s younger sister asked if the autistic girl will retain the knowledge she gained in school…

”Very proud of your sister. Let me ask a stupid question: Does she retain the knowledge she has gained in school? Can she make use of this knowledge? I have a family member who is in similar circumstances. ❤”

And Leanne replied;

”She does retain the information with repetition, but some stuff she still has difficulty retaining. Just takes time though!”
