A boy named Julian expresses what it is like to be autistic and how it is not easy sometimes. But this boy isn't a fictional character, he's actually me when I was a kid and some of the stuff I went through was real. So it does actually mean that being autistic can be hard sometimes. But it can also make you special. And yes, I actually did grow out of it and I'm still not experiencing anything as much as when I was a kid.
