Notwithstanding, life has brought him a world of setbacks and standstills, causing him to put in extra effort to prove his competence and helping him learn how to go through things rather than around them.Unstoppable will take you on a gripping story of how one man took on Autism head-on, persevering through discrimination in his own neighborhood, all the while not being given a full range of opportunities. Matthew tackled one of the most rigorous programs in California in order to obtain his teaching credentials. Currently a substitute teacher of NMUSD as he awaits landing a full-time teaching career, he has made an impact on thousands of students, often being called the "best sub."
