I'm walking to raise funds for the mission of Autism Speaks - to fuel innovative research and make connections to critical lifelong supports and services for the autism community. Please support me by donating and help me meet my fundraising goal - and you, too, can join the team and make an impact for people living with autism!
As most of you know I'm a proud Autism Mom. Here is a bit about Asher's story. Asher was a true gift from God. He was born on October 6, 2015. As he grew we learned that his needs were just a little bit different. He was just a little behind others and was not speaking as he should be. We had a wonderful pediatrician who was with us every step of the way. She recommended early on that he should be tested for Autism. Although hesitant We did agree and he went for testing. He was diagnosed with Autism. We had no idea what his needs would end up being. We started therapy and also allowed baby net into our home to help with his needed. He seen dentist and other specialist to address his speech needs. As he grew We added occupational therapy and involved our local school so that we could start at an early age getting him use to being around others. Today he is seven and we are still learning and growing. Having an autistic child you have to learn each other's language without words. You have to be able to read and understand what they are trying to communicate. This is why we walk for Autism. We want to help others grow awareness for Autismâ¤
