<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jimmy and Sharnae, both 21 years old, have known each other for almost 3 years. When they first met, Jimmy had not yet been diagnosed, but Sharnae (who is also on the spectrum) knew that he was autistic even before his diagnosis.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">When asked why they believe they were compatible, Sharnae answered, “We were made for each other.”</p>
