Diego Infante

Language: Spanish

I am Diego Infante, a 31-year-old young man with Autism. I am a massage therapist and an activist for the Autistic Community.

I give talks throughout my country Chile, sharing my firsthand life experience. I deliver a hopeful message to Autistic individuals and their families. I also share many tips about Autism, speaking about how I see life.

I talk about Autism from autonomy, independence, and self-sufficiency, from my voice as an Autistic person. I believe it is very relevant to converse with a protagonist (and not with the mother, caregiver or even specialist) since the news focus tends to be on infantilization, which is far from what the world of autistic pride wants to reflect.
