My name is Milo Gilad, and I was born on the autism spectrum. My message is that parents shouldn’t lose hope just because their kids are “different” or “difficult.” My talk is about my struggles with autism, how I overcame them (and still am overcoming them), and why trying to mold people into what we perceive to be "normal" can do more harm than good. Milo Gilad is an aspiring computer scientist at North Broward Preparatory High School in Coconut Creek, Florida. Heavily involved with his local Robotics Team and Coding Club, he hopes to enter the burgeoning field of cybersecurity. Milo also enjoys tutoring students in computer science as a means of encouraging involvement in STEM classes and careers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
