As many of you know, our oldest son, Kellen, was recently diagnosed autistic - high functioning. Even with high functioning autism, there have been many obstacles to overcome both personally and as a family. We are fortunate to have been in therapy from the time he was 2 (under a different diagnoses) with some of the best doctors and therapists in the area and he has made great progress!
Autism affects approximately 1 in 59 children with boys being nearly 5 times more likely to have it. The added costs for a family can really pile up; therapists, psychiatrists, school resources, medication costs, etc.
Please help me support individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities! I am participating in the North Dakota Autism Center's 11th Annual Walk for Autism. I cannot wait to celebrate their AuSome Abilities! Thank you for your support!
