My name is Ramon Castaños. I am 24. I am Mexican-American. And I am a third-year journalism student at California State University, Fresno trying to jumpstart my journalism career.

All of those things about me are more interesting than the fact that I live with autism.

I hate that most people treat me differently when they find out I have autism. I just want to be treated like everyone else.

In 2016, I graduated from Sunnyside High School in my hometown of Fresno. I chose to study journalism in college because I am a very curious person. I like telling stories. I am learning to be better at it.
