Alex Lee spent most of his childhood in Hong Kong, where he was first diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. At two years old, he began receiving occupational therapy and his parents started noticing a difference in his behavior — specifically a budding artistic ability. Alex finished high school and college in the U.S. and worked with the Department of Rehabilitation to determine next steps. His counselor suggested working with a non-profit organization to get his foot in the door. Now he’s putting his artistic talent and graphic design skills to good use as a marketing intern for Goodwill.
