About this listen

In this episode of Fighting Dragons, Topher Scott guides listeners through his journey of living with Autism. Tracing his story to his parents' youthful marriage and his father's military enlistment, Topher shares about his early life feeling the potent bond of love within his family. Even as a child, his experience with Autism began to surface, especially when his parents divorced. Despite his struggles with social interactions, and emotional management, he also reminisces about the comfort he found in his grandfather, Uncle Steven, and a lifelong love for movies, with a special mention of Star Wars. Moving frequently due to his father's military career made it difficult for lasting friendships, teaching him the importance of self-reliance. Though difficult, Topher believes that his Autism, while presenting unique challenges, had a significant hand in shaping who he is today.
