When Adhara was three years old, she was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disorder that can lead to challenges in social interactions and communication. She grew up in the low-income neighbourhood of Tlahuac and was often bullied for her developmental disability.
"She was very depressed, people did not have empathy, they made fun of her," Adhara's mother, Nayeli Sánchez, was quoted as saying by the magazine.
"She began to exclude herself, she did not want to play with her classmates, she felt strange, different. She could be at school for a while but then she couldn't, she fell asleep, she didn't want to do things anymore," Sanchez said.
