I am Justin Scales, and I have what they call High-functioning Autism. I was diagnosed when I was 13 years old. I enjoy wrestling. I wrestled 4 years for Garner High, and 3 years with the Dynamic Wrestling team. The coaches at both Garner high and Dynamic welcomed me with open arms and accepted me with my Autism. I am very passionate of the sport of wrestling. Being on both teams has made me feel accepted. People with Autism need the same things everybody else needs, they need love,friendship and to be accepted. People with Autism want to fit in with society and alot of people cast them out because they don't understand what Autism is. Having this tournament I hope to achieve that awareness.
