This In Real Life member is choosing to be unapologetically himself!
Just one day after ringing in his 20th birthday, Michael Conor took to Instagram to celebrate another milestone: the four-year anniversary of his Autism diagnosis. Along with pics of his new tattoo, a colorful puzzle piece, the rapper got real about how his fans and followers have inspired him to approach the next chapter of his life without any fear of judgement.
We couldn’t be prouder! Michael opened up about how scary it was, at age 16, to be diagnosed with High Functioning Autism, but how he’s now turning the page, embracing his journey, and using his platform to bring awareness to others.
“I don’t wanna be corny but you guys really saved me. I heard your stories and realized how much I related to all of you, but the problem was you didn’t know how much you truly related to ME,” he wrote.
In case you missed it, Michael recently joined Asher Angel on stage for a special performance of “One Thought Away.”
