Dashawn, 18 years old, NJ
Dashawn is an autistic teenager who enjoys watching videos and TikToks for comfort and security at home. He finds these activities calming and enjoys having time to relax and engage with content that interests him. Dashawn lives in a community with more older adults than children and teenagers his age, which can make it difficult for him to connect with peers and participate in age-appropriate social activities. Opportunities to engage in activities that promote social interaction, recreation, and connection with other youth his age give Dashawn meaningful ways to build friendships and feel more connected to his community.
