A MESSAGE FROM Braeden and Kathleen's Eagles Autism Challenge Page
As many of you know, but for those who don't, 1 in 59 Children in the united states have autism spectrum disorder and one is my nine year old son Braeden. Braeden was diagnosed with ASD at age three, which proceeded micro-prematurity, 21 medical procedures, and joined his two other life-long diagnosis's. Any parent of autism or not, feels if your child is struggling you’ll do everything to change that, even when it is simply out of your control. Daily Braeden faces challenges with every day tasks, some we're able to tackle but others are too much for him and that is okay, because every day has a tomorrow. I believe that autism is as much the thing that makes Braeden extraordinarily unique, as it is the thing that holds him back the most in life. My deepest fear as Braeden's mom is the day that my adult son with autism will have to live without me. I don't want to fear the future for my son, I want to embrace it and my hope is that sooner rather than later, researchers are able to find answers to piece together a brighter future for those living with autism. Read below to see how you can help and we hope you join Braeden and I on May 19th to take on the Eagles Autism Challenge!...
