An Autistic Man with Schizophrenia Who Won’t Quit

A video by Special Books by Special Kids we learn about Emeka who identifies as an autistic man living with schizophrenia. Throughout his life, he has faced hallucinations, social anxiety, and delusional thoughts. At times, he’s felt the urge to isolate, but Emeka has learned to stand tall and take pride in who he is. Today, he wants the world to know that he’s autistic, and schizophrenic, and he deserves to take up space just like anybody else.
