Fallon Sousa, confirmed as Fallon Rose Thérèse Sousa, was born on Nov. 5, 1995 in Fall River, Massachusetts to AnnMarie (née Pacheco) Sousa, a part-time publicist, and Richard C. Sousa, a union contractor and firefighter. She was raised Catholic and attended private, parochial schools from 2001 until 2014. It was there and under her mother's guidance that she discovered her love of writing and acting. She was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in 2002 but it did not deter her from graduating high school in the top 10% of her class, with scholarship offers to nearly two dozen universities. However, instead of pursuing college, she wrote several novels from 2013 to 2017, under her real name despite warnings from family, mostly in the erotic genre. After a personal revelation and health scares related to her epilepsy made her reevaluate her life and lifestyle choices, she took up acting classes at Trinity Repertory Company, and soon became a member of the Spectrum Theatre Ensemble, a professional theatre group in the Providence-Warwick, Rhode Island area comprised of mostly people on the autism spectrum.
