Two years after her death, Leymo narrates a letter to her in Love, Leymo, updating her on his struggles, his accomplishments, his goals and the importance of his friends as he comes to understand the world around him.
Leymo is on the autism spectrum and has a learning disability. He’s working hard to try and find a place for himself in the film and television industry.
Leymo is more than the loss of his mother. He is more than just a person on the spectrum. He has thoughts and ideas about the world he’s growing up in to which everyone, on and off the spectrum, can relate.

I've talked with Leymo a few times and he's a REALLY nice person to talk to! Leymo has gone through so much in his life with his mother, bullies, and his disability. He's inspired me so much as I have anxiety it's difficult to have confidence and to be myself, Leymo has taught me that it's ok to be myself. YOUR THE BEST LEYMO! ❤️

My dear Leymo, I was Biftu’s grade 3 teacher and you were integrated in my class at OLoL for some subjects. I was so saddened to hear of your mother’s passing because I know how much she meant to you and your sister and how much you meant to her. I am so proud to hear how you’ve matured and are forging out your life. You’re right, your mother doesn’t need to worry about you. All my love to Biftu. ❤

CBC does some great work with youths and children. Still can't believe I'm living in a world where people don't want us to have CBC. I guess it shows that they don't pay attention to stuff from CBC thats outside of their dislikes. Thank you Leymo for sharing with us!
