David Teplitz was determined to go to UCBerkeley, and he did it, graduating in May with a degree in political science.  David is on the spectrum and has severe apraxia. That means -- in his case--  he is verbal but doesn't speak. Hear David explain how he got in and managed his class load with the help of many aids and communication devices. David also offers insights about academics, connecting with professors and peers on campus and online, and how he navigated his college experience. He does mention Stanford, too. Spoiler alert: Cal won that game.
