Alexa Girard

Story
Alexa Girard was born with Asperger's Syndrome, a brain disorder on the Autism spectrum. She got diagnosed at age 2, and she has had Asperger's ever since. She still has difficulties with eye contact from time to time, but she sometimes manages to look people in the eye.

Alexa has been in Special Education throughout her early elementary school years. She has then been mainstreamed starting in grade 2. She has gone through tough times with school, but managed to suffer through them.

Alexa managed to overcome her Asperger's throughout the years with services and some help from a special therapist.

At a very young age, Alexa managed to teach herself how to use the computer, and taught herself how to properly use all the software and programs through her bright mind. She, along with her family, friends and teachers, realized how naturally gifted she is with computers. Everyone knows that she is very smart and creative, especially with computers.

Alexa also loves YouTube with a passion. Shortly before she turned 19, she made her own YouTube channel, under the name "The Aspie Girl". You can check out her channel here, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq0wq1S3yHq41hAYui5ueaQ. She makes vlogs, recipes, Autism Awareness videos, tutorials, and much more.

She currently has an Associate's degree in Computer Science. Shortly after she got it, she came up with the idea to create Life On The Spectrum. She also loves to do 3D modeling and animation, and she has another YouTube channel, ALexa Girard's 3D Modeling & Animation, where she uploads Life On The Spectrum episodes as well as her 3D models and animations.

Alexa is currently working on her YouTube videos and episodes of Life On The Spectrum.

Alexa goes to Tech Academy 360, a private vocational school for students on the Autism spectrum.
