Dear Friends,

We often speak about the challenges we see when we volunteer over the years at SFACS to support our mother’s vision for a brighter day for autism. Today and moving forward we want to share something more profound – the immeasurable meaning it holds in our family’s heart. Your unwavering support has been a beacon of hope and strength for us, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
In our family, autism isn’t just a condition; it’s a unique lens through which we know every student at SFACS views the world. It’s intertwined in our daily lives, teaching us patience, understanding, and a deeper form of empathy. From the little victories that we see our mother celebrate with a bit more enthusiasm to the challenging days that remind us of our resilience, that has shaped our very essence. It has taught us to find joy in the smallest moments and to appreciate the diverse tapestry of human experience.
Our journey has been significantly shaped by a powerful lesson from our mother – to love everyone unconditionally. This lesson has been our guiding star, helping us to embrace not only the challenges but also the incredible beauty that comes with her dedication to the work she does with families and individuals with autism. Her wisdom has taught us to see the world not in black and white, but in a myriad of colors, each representing different strengths and challenges. It’s a lesson of acceptance that goes beyond our family and extends to how we interact with the world. We are asking for your support in helping to bring more attention to the wonderful work our mother continues to do in the autism community by supporting the Walk on April 20. Love Always Skylar, Summer and Slade
