Popular award-winning Australian actress Chloé Hayden says she grew up thinking she "wasn't supposed to exist" because she never saw autistic people like herself represented in media.
Hayden — who has become a household name portraying an autistic character in the rebooted Heartbreak High series on Netflix — made the comments on Monday at a public hearing of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability.
