From Meltdowns to Dreams of Disney: Koty’s Story

A picture of Koty smiling.

 

Koty didn't interact with the other kids. He had outbursts and even his teachers were afraid of him. Several different practitioners and numerous tests and probes later, Koty was diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder. By the sixth grade, Koty had his eyes set on being the next Walt Disney, thanks to the effective partnership between his mother and teachers.
