McGuire When Hunter first walked into my after-school coding club, they were shy and a bit standoffish. I could sense their discomfort, yet I also saw a willingness to give this new experience a try. I quickly learned that Hunter, who has hearing issues, dyslexia, autism, and ADHD, had endured persistent bullying for years. This only intensified after Hunter came out as non-binary. Hunter went into a deep depression and struggled to make friends and connections.
