Abdulrahman Alwahedi
Some of us went through many struggles on their journey.Some of us got into a place where they belong. Some of us has stopped somewhere and decided to give up. What is behind their story? As a person who went through a lot of hardship since childhood and not being accepted by the community because of Autism, I became a successful man today by being dedicated and to proof that we have a place in the community. That is why I have planned to make a podcast where I uncover people's story of their success and to share their message. It is time to "start" your journey again and follow your dreams. (Podcast will be both in Arabic and English in some Episodes).

The start of COVID-19 pandemic put us barriers between us and social life where we could not see our families, especially our normal working days.

This episode is in English.
I was invited by Iminclusive to be their moderator on GITEX as they have found me the right person as an Emirati (Autism) to represent People of Determination and be an example of a leader. The event was at Dubai World Trade Centre which took place on the 11th of October 2022. My excitement and confidence has made me speak up to our audience and lead my fellow determined people to answer the questions on their journey, achievement and goal in life. We want the people to understand that whatever disabilities we might have, we are capable of continuing our normal lives and work. I have also shared my story and vision to our audience that it will only happen if I get to meet our leaders H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and H.H Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Finally, I spoke up on the unfortunate event that took place in 2013 in my graduation ceremony where I wanted to deliver my message to H.H Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the attendees in hoping to open more opportunities for us after sharing my story and proof of that day a person with Autism made it to graduation, unfortunately even when I was promised by the school they took down my speech and caused me to be broken emotionally. Your highness, the boy who was broken down to pieces on that day by the people is now a successful man today and still strives to go above and beyond. I hope the day would come to meet you as I can replace the past experience to a joyful picture with you.
When my message has reached to my people, I have finally been recognized for my work and motives.
The hardship since childhood has turned me into a successful man.
With the experience that I have been through, I decided to break this cycle of unfairness to spread this awareness not just in my country the United Arab Emirates, but everywhere in the world!
The doors are opened for everyone, but for now I will be prioritizing my people to guide them to success.
