These days, Rayden Overbay doesn’t have a problem striking up a conversation at his middle school. Classmates engage him.

At the height of bullying that started when he was nine, Rayden Overbay, who is autistic, suffers from ADHD and is deaf in his right ear, had written “I want to kill myself” on his arm in marker.
