High school valedictorian has a 4.0 GPA, is headed to Towson University and is autistic - The Washington Post

Quote:
“Having a disability doesn’t mean you have a disadvantage,” Montel, the valedictorian at Surrattsville High School in Prince George’s County, told the audience. “Sometimes it can be an advantage.”
Quote:
Clark said Montel’s autism did not affect his course work. He scored high on assessment tests, including earning a 3 (5 is the highest score) on the Advanced Placement Biology exam.
