A lot of people never get that clarity and feel misunderstood, so I share my story to say it’s okay, you’re not broken, being different is what makes you you, and there are people who will love you for it.

Jake pursued a diagnosis after feeling for years that something was "wrong" with him and was certain it was not related to an earlier ADHD diagnosis. So, he went through two years of consultation with various therapists and psychologists.

Initially, some professionals were hesitant to diagnose him because his on-camera persona involved learned behaviors, like making eye contact with the camera, which can mask typical signs of autism. His diagnosis required psychologists to look past these learned behaviors and understand his core daily life experiences.
