For Sydney mother Lara Bird, nothing makes her prouder than to see her son Leo speak of his autism as akin to being a "limited edition Lego set". The 12-year-old is the talk of his community thanks to a speech he gave at his school's 2025 young communicators competition, where he opened up about his neurodiversity. He loves elevators. He can answer countless questions about traffic lights. Plus, coding anything with an electric switch is also a passion, along with YouTube. "I like to explain autism like a chilli," Leo said in his speech that has over 2.5 million views after being posted on social media. "Some people are mild, some are medium and some are super spicy … I'm not broken. I'm just built different. Like a limited edition Lego set." Diagnosed with autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in kindergarten, Leo's preschool educators had shared their inklings with his parents after noticing signs in the classroom. "When he started primary school, that's when we realised some early intervention was needed to help him with his learning," Ms Bird said. It was an online video of another autistic child's speech that Ms Bird showed to Leo a few years ago, which made a significant impact. "The child was explaining their journey and I thought, 'This kid sounds like Leo'. I showed it to him and he really related to this kid and realised this child was like him. "It started the discussion between us about his autism, realising he was ready to understand a bit more about his neurodiversity." Years later when it came to entering his school's public speaking competition, Leo made the decision to write his speech about a very personal topic. This was the first part.
