Before he was voted out in the semifinals, Will opened up about having Asperger’s syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. “My friends and some professors at Westmont knew I had autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but I never considered it much of a hardship because I knew other people with more noticeable forms of ASD who have it far rougher than I ever will,” he says.</excerpt><author/><image>
