“Being a 14-year-old boy in middle school-slash-high school that sings, not very athletic… most boys my age, their voices have already dropped down,” he said. “So I have been picked on by other kids for being this different, unique individual. As I get older, I realize being unique isn’t a bad thing.”
Rubin is also an advocate for people with autism and has been inspired by his brother Jack and his family’s foundation, Families in Arms.

“My brother, Jack, and a lot of people on the autism spectrum see things a little differently than many of us,” he explained during the Dec. 7 show. “And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. In fact, it’s a quite beautiful thing, and I think if we all took a second and tried to see the world through their eyes, we’d all be kinder, we’d be more patient, and we’d be more accepting.”
