A

This is "A", he is four years old. "A" was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism at three years old. He received private speech, OT, and PT, for a year until we were able to get him approved for school based services. He is a bundle of energy and a ray of light. I wouldn't change one thing about him and I tell him every day how smart and special he is!

Koi

This is Koi. She is four years old. Koi loves music, dancing, and "cooking" (plastic) food- especially carrots. My parents recently gave Koi an iPad, and her communication skills have really taken off as a result. She loves her preschool and especially her teacher, Miss Laura. My hope for Koi is that she will live a meaningful life full of hope, love, and happiness.

Beauty & Macho

"My daughter 'Beauty' was diagnosed with autism when she was 2 yrs old. With the help of early intervention programs, sign language and therapy, she went from being a completely non-verbal child who didn't smile or play with others, to a vibrant young girl who plays, smiles, talks and laughs all the time! My son 'Macho' was unofficially diagnosed with PDD-NOS when he was 2 yrs old. Early intervention helped him learn to use the left side of his body and has helped him begin overcoming his severe Echolalia. He's now learning to speak spontaneously. He loves to smile, play peek-a-boo, and give hugs and kisses. Beauty is almost 5 yrs old, Macho is almost 3 yrs old, and I can see them both having very bright futures ahead of them!"

Ciara and Shamus

Ciara is the most precious 18 month old little girl. She has a lot of great skills but since she is so young she has a long way to go.
Shamus is the most handsome almost 3 year old little boy. He is starting to sign and trying to say words. In the last month he has made leaps.

Fionn lives in Galway, Ireland. How do you measure our ability with a standard IQ test? Would you consider a blind man rude for not seeing you when he comes into a room. We are differently abled.
We do not lie, we do not speak badly of anyone, we always respect life in its great variety.

Bard


You can call me "Bard" I'm 23 and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 18. I am a jaded cynic with a love of mythology shamanism, anthropology and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The whole thing about autistic people lacking imagination...well I dispel that fact.

 
I got stories to tell.

Deqlan

Hi All.I am a very proud Mom to Deqlan, aged 3 and a half years! We are from Gauteng in South Africa.
He was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma, 25 May 2007, a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system at the age of 8 months. He went through 11 rounds of chemotherapy , 6 surgeries and procedures, more scans and blood and urines tests we could count, and he was declared to have NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE on 16 Jan 2008!
Praise Our Lord, 25 months NED!
Just after Deqlan started chemotherapy we noticed he stopped saying Mama and stopped giving us the pictures of animals, he knew quite well. Then went the eye contact and Deqlan became fascinated with fans and tried to spin everything from car wheels to egg lifters.
On 25 Oct 2008, Deqlan was diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum.
We are currently treating Deqlan biomedically and seeing fantastic results. He is on a Gluten Casein Sugar Soya Yeast free diet and on variety of supplements and vitamins, as well as candida treatment. After being on this protocol for 1 year, his language has gone from 2 words this time last year to over 200. His eye contact is fantastic, he has stopped lining things up, he has stopped spinning himself in circles, he has started taking interest in certain people.
He adores cars and Thomas the train and friends. Deqlan loves saying the alphabet and counting! He has even started singing songs and pointing at things!
He is attending a wonderful school specialising for kids on the autism spectrum, and loving every moment of being there! He is also in speech and occupational therapy and swimming lessons.
We look forward to waking up each day with Deqlan as we know we are going to be blessed by each moment with Deqlan. Our lives have changed in the most wonderful way , our priorities are clearer then ever before, all the things that don’t matter we let go of.
We couldn’t be prouder, we absolutely love and adore our gorgeous gift from God, Deqlan Ross.
God Bless, lovely to meet you all

Tafari


My 3 year old Tafari is Autistic. We call him "The Terror" not because of his Autism, because of his Age... and personally he is part of this family, therefore he doesn't get a pass from us with bratty kid nicknames! He is the youngest of 4 Children.... and he is an absolute Joy! In this picture he is eating a banana while trying to signing "More" at the same time, LOL!
