As many of you know, our favorite little guy, Dylan, was diagnosed with autism by the time he was 18 months old. Despite the challenges of acquiring early intervention and special education services during a global pandemic, we were fortunate to have the knowledge, guidance, and support of family, friends, neighbors, and professionals to assist us in accessing resources and advocating for Dylan's needs. Our solar system enthusiast is currently 5 years old, and we are so grateful for the individuals, therapists, teachers, agencies, and organizations that comprise his “orbit,” as we journey alongside and around our sweet boy so that he may achieve his goals and thrive in his own unique way.
