• October 2019
Tom Stratton shares how Autism and Prosopagnosia (face blindness) made him a social outcast growing up, but how he ultimately used his unique worldview to successfully build strong friendships. With support from family, aides and other advisors, he learned he could use certain hallmarks of Autism to flip it from a weakness into a strength. Stratton inspires us to be brave and search ourselves to recognize the weaknesses that we can reinvent into personal strengths.
