😂 what is confusing? She is advocating for something more than just talking about herself. That is what pageant ladirs do. Specifically she is raising awareness about autism. Why do people like you act confused when a lady speaks. Its like you tried to render her speech useless because you have a hard time comprehending something so simple.
I don’t understand. Sincerely wondering what she’s talking about. Who is she talking about? Who is trying to speak for her brother, besides herself?
This made me cry 😢❤
