But, per a recent Instagram post, she hasn’t always been “confident, kind, and full of life.”
The post’s caption reads: “What you might not know is that she’s spent 22 years in speech therapy.”
Speech therapy, as well as “other interventions,” have enabled Abbey, who has autism, to “truly feel part of this world.”
