Tristan grew up mostly in Massachusetts although he was born in Orlando, Fla. and spent a couple of years living in Nottingham, England with his parents. He graduated high school from Valley Collaborative in Billerica and since then has worked in retail and customer service, but has yet to find a job or company that “feels like home.” At one of the places he was working he made friends with a co-worker who was Autistic and at this point started to think about becoming an autism advocate. After mentioning this to his life coach, he was introduced to and began his journey with CARE. Ultimately, he wants to assist autistic individuals in their journey of discovery with Autism and their efforts to become more independent.
