"Very similar experience with my son, who was diagnosed as autistic at a similar age. His mum and I were told to learn Makaton as our communication with him would need 'visual reinforcement'. He now has a degree in wildlife photography and has just held his second exhibition."
@BuddhistMatt stated:
"Outstanding. Congratulations. Just shows never underestimate anyone. I knew little of autism until I had a apprentice bricklayer on my site. He was 1st of initial 26 intake to achieve his NVQ. He is employed by a contractor and builds to the highest standard. Specialist stonework."
@HanSparkle86 opined:
"I’m autistic too and I’ve just got my certificate from the Open University for studying Arts and Languages, I’m currently studying French and looking at studying intermediate french alongside writing. I suffer with my confidence too ❤️ well done xx."
Nigerian man achieves academic success despite negative prophecy

The young man said after the negative prophecy, he made a promise to himself to upturn it, adding that people should not let others decide their fate.
He wrote on his Instagram page:
"A prophet boldly declared that I will never achieve anything academically rather I should look into doing business. I did look into business but I also choose to pursue one thing I always loved- Teaching and Learning irrespective of what a prophet said."
