Living with autism in Dubai: How expats on the spectrum go through their life

Whether one falls on the ‘high-functioning’ level or the non-verbal non-responsive level of the spectrum, diagnosis is the first step to feeling like you belong – that you are not alone, as these Dubai residents can attest.

I have always felt different, I have always wondered why I felt out-of-place, like I didn’t belong.
