Thank you for your support and joining in our cause. Phillipe is the youngest of our four children. Phillipe was diagnosed a little later in age (4). This was because he had a lot of respiratory issues with his ears, nose and throat. The pediatricians diagnosed us with a developmental delay due to the constant ear infections.
As a family we knew there was more as we watched him "hand flap", line up his toys, avoid eye contact, and of course not speaking. We were introduced to the early intervention programs at the age of 2 and began our journey with Speech and OT therapy.
At age 3 our pediatrician advised it was time to seek testing as she was aware of the sensory issues during our routine check up. The test took 2 months to schedule and 6 months of a wait list. October of 2021 we received our diagnosis of level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder.
As you can imagine this news was hard to grasp. As a family this was all new information to process. However, we now had the information we needed to start the long road of therapy ahead of us.
Since our diagnosis we are two years strong in ABA. We now have so many words, abilities and a great loving social life. Attending school in a program based towards our needs as well.
Phillipe has shown such strength and has been our hero in our Journey thus far. We are always wanting to support our Autism community and opened an Instagram page to help our families, friends and all whom seek help and information.
Please consider donating to help us and others with all the resources needed to continue a fulfilling life on the spectrum.
May The Force Be With You!
