Cain Noble-Davies, 22, was just seven years old when he was diagnosed with autism, but he remembers it like it was yesterday.
The immediate question that came into my head was, whats wrong with me?
Being told right there that there is something that objectively makes you different from most other people is pretty hard for a kid, he says on this week's episode of Insight.
While many look back at primary school with a feeling of nostalgia, for Cain, socialising never came easily and he recalls his school days as some of the worst of his life.
It would have been what Id call socialising at gun point.
All the students had to get along with each other because fighting doesnt make for the best schools and it is genuinely difficult for me to socialise even at the best of times because I am not that good when it comes to reading social cues.
Cains behaviour and difficulties interacting with other children that would contribute to his depression, anxiety and the dramatic circumstances of his eventual diagnosis of autism.
