She also shared that she was recently diagnosed with level 1 autism, adding, “I want to show other young autistics that are suffering in silence that you can follow your passion, and you can not fit in the box and do what you do and just eat at it.”
Aubrey was already emotional before she started her performance. She sang a powerhouse rendition of “Call Out My Name,” showing off a soulful voice and a passionate energy. After finishing the performance, Aubrey broke down in tears.
