"He is the prescription that I've needed for a really long time that never runs out. It was just meant to be. He just understands me so well," she said. "He distracts me from a lot of the things that consume my day and my time...It just really helps just having someone there who gets it and understands me."
"He still is [learning], but I mean, so is everyone else," she added. "I am still learning about it. My parents are still learning about it," Dupree said. "There's so much more work that needs to be done to educate more people and to understand fully what people are going through and dealing with."
