It really is a spectrum. The Neurodiversity of Autism at UC Berkeley

https://www.dailycal.org/2019/04/28/it-really-is-a-spectrum/

My longest article yet and semester-long in the making, with a series of interviews with 7 students with autism at UC Berkeley. Ready in time for April, Autism Acceptance Month.

Shout out to my autistic peers Anna Bernick, Brazos Donaho, Brian Liu, Cole Hasserjian, David Teplitz, Joaquin Nelson, Tiffany Ceja - Thank you for sharing your perspectives.

And to my editors Anna Ho and Alex Luceli Jiménez @ Daily Cal Weekender for your patience and edits for this really long 5600+ word article, and Design Editor Ariel Lung, for the cool cover art based on our photos. 

Love the cover picture.

The cover art for the feature was based on actual photos submitted by the students

Looks like the article was trending too !!!

This Edition of the Daily Cal Weekender was an Autism Special.
