"And how I identify my passion is with art, comics, video editing, and now poetry, in the last couple of years," Pritchard said.

While Pritchard has found her passion, life wasn't always easy for her. Growing up she was bullied. She learned that, at the age of 15, she had autism.

"I had this idea one day when I was in 10th grade, because this was the fourth school I had been to, and I had this idea to make a comic book about a girl whose autistic," said Pritchard.

She showed her work to her peers and teachers.

"But their reactions actually were very positive and they understood me more. I said OK, maybe we're on to something here, but then my creativity kept going forward since then," said Pritchard.

She recently submitted a documentary to the Easter Seals Disability Challenge entitled "My Superpower," where she shares her story.

Pritchard's goal is to continue to be an inspiration, but to also break down stereotypes about people with autism.

"As society as a collective whole, we need to break down that negative stigma and those barriers because autism, neurodiversity, mental health conditions, they're labels, you can honor the labels, but you shouldn't limit someone or put them in a box because they have a label," said Pritchard.
