The Photographer
Meet Elliot Tate!
Elliot is 11 years old and is homeschooled. When he's not behind a camera, he's swimming, playing soccer, riding roller coasters, cooking, or exploring somewhere new.
When he grows up, he wants to be a professional wildlife photographer and work at a zoo.
A note on his neurodiversity:
Elliot is Autistic with Apraxia and ADHD. Apraxia makes it hard for his brain to send the right signals to his mouth, so getting words out isn't always easy, even when he knows exactly what he wants to say. Autism and ADHD are part of how his brain works too, and together, all of it can make everyday things feel overwhelming and cause anxiety.
Elliot wants people to know this about him because he believes understanding neurodiversity helps us all understand each other a little better.
