Theo McKenzie-Hayton speaks up for autism

Verwood’s Theo McKenzie-Hayton, a member of dance troupe Diversity Juniors, has published a video to spread awareness of autism.

Theo, who lives with High spectrum autism, uploaded a 10-minute video to YouTube to share the things he does to cope with it.

The 16-year old says he was nervous recording the piece because there was so much he wanted to say but had to try and wrap everything up in a 10-minute video. He was diagnosed with ASD when he was 12.

You can watch the video here and our comments are open below.
