Why I Don‘t Tell People I Have Asperger’s
Different Brains interns and autistic self-advocate Bailey Bender shares why she feels functioning labels can be a double-edged sword.
I’m Bailey Bender and I am an autistic college student at Florida Atlantic University. I am a senior in the College of Business majoring in marketing with a minor in entrepreneurship. When I graduate, I want to be a marketing manager and start my own business. I sell artwork at Artists with Autism. In my spare time, I like to practice karate and I am a brown belt.
