Jude has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is a brain disorder which affects social and verbal interactions in various ways. Despite being friendly, Jude had difficulty making friends while he was growing up. At one point in his life, Jude started to feel really sad and hopeless. Around that time, he started watching elephant videos on social media. And that changed his life.
