Send us a text
Could you imagine the triumph of seeing your autistic child overcome numerous challenges to become a successful artist?
On today's episode, we have the extraordinary Clayden Botes and his mother, Antoinette, all the way from South Africa.
Diagnosed with autism at a tender age of six, Clayden's journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
From grappling with reading and writing to sensory issues, his story is one of resilience and unfettered determination.
Antoinette, his mother, paints a vivid picture of the trials and tribulations they faced, from the inadequacies of South Africa's school system regarding autistic children to the criticism she encountered stepping outside the conventional norms.
But, oh boy! Did it pay off?
Clayden's art business has grown from a local enterprise to an international sensation. And, it's only the beginning.
We also get a glimpse of Clayden's creative process, his inspirations, and his artistic growth.
To wrap up, we delve into Clayden's future plans (which include an illustrative artist career and a clothing business) and the importance of advocacy in the autism spectrum. We discuss Clayden's YouTube channel, Clayden's World.
His story brings a glimmer of hope to many parents navigating similar challenges.
Tune in, as we unravel a story of passion, resilience, and limitless possibilities, along with our inspiring guests, Clayden and Antoinette.
