Autism Success Story: Unstoppable Confidence
Gena Sims interviews Matteo Esposito, a 24-year old autistic playwright, fired up for success. Haters and doubters won't get him down. Matteo works on believing in himself to the core, everyday. Watch him share how. (Timestamps below)
Matteo's writing his success story everyday. He's the first Canadian with a disability to design an Off-Off Broadway set. And an NYC producer will bring Matteo's critically acclaimed play about an autistic adult, "Sorting It Out", Off-Off Broadway and to schools.
