Britini’s autism diagnosis
Britini’s qualifications are impressive to say the least, but when we learn of her journey to get where she is today, it’s safe to say hats should be taken off for the BB contestant.
Britini said during her Big Brother 23 introduction: “I’ve had to work five times harder to get to where I am today because when I was 22 months old I was diagnosed with autism.“
She continued: “I’ve come so far but it has not been easy by any regard. So, it’s not just doing this for me, it’s doing this for every single kid who has a disability“.
What does Twitter think of the Big Brother star?
By the looks of Twitter, Britini has a lot of fans. The Niagra Falls native wanted to inspire other people with disabilities and it seems that she’s doing just that.
One person Tweeted: “Britni’s intro package is a great example of why fans really shouldn’t form snap judgments of the houseguests based on preseason interviews.”
Another Twitter user said: “I am so happy to have Brittni on BB23. Another educated & successful autistic person for my autistic grandson to look up to“.
Some else Tweeted: “All caught up on #bb23 and my fav is Tiffany. Xavier is a close second. Hannah seems sharp! And as an autism mom, I hope Britni goes far.“
