David Teplitz and Hari Srinivasen make history at U.C. Berkeley as the first nonspeaking autistic graduates.
"He's always been a humongous role model for me. He's paved the way for change," said Miigis Curley, sister and fellow Evanston Township High School student. The Evanston Township principal paid a visit to his home Monday morning, delivering his diploma in person.Despite telling graduating students additional apparel or adornment is not allowed, in a statement school officials said they are"reviewing the graduation guidelines, particularly as they relate to acknowledging the history and stories of indigenous students."
While the family waits for official changes to be made, Nimkii said he'll be going to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study Environmental Engineering.
