 Happy Autistic Pride Day! I'm Autistic and I competed for Great Britain as a Taekwondo athlete. I won a Commonwealth gold medal, multiple national medals and competed internationally quite regularly. It always surprises people as they don't expect an Autistic person to like fighting. I had an injury 4 years ago and had to get knee surgery to fix myself. I recently finished my physiotherapy and wanted to see if I could still kick. I'm very happy and free now I'm able to do what I love. It might surprise you, but many of my Autistic traits help me succeed in Taekwondo. What do you think of my kicks and what makes you proud to be Autistic? Let me know in the comments.
