Thank you Autism Radio for providing my son with an iPad. He loves that he can play Minecraft and angry birds and I love that we can use it for school apps and to help us learn sign language. It has been a wonderful tool in many areas of our life. It makes grocery shopping easier as he can play a game and the lights and sounds of the stores are not as bothersome since he is occupied. He has several apps that help with math, reading, problem solving and understanding emotions and facial expressions. He can build and invent in Minecraft and then tries to recreate the same things with his Legos. This is something that as a single mom I would never have been able to provide for him. Thank you for being there to help those in need and provide a wonderful gift to a special boy.
Thank you Autism Radio for the wonderful grant donation you have given Syler J. Lyle
Thank you Autism Radio for the wonderful grant donation you have given Syler J. Lyle for his Chiropractic care. When Syler was diagnosed with Autism it was a big blow to all the ones who love him. Because we had no clue how to help him. As a mother, I felt lost almost like I was in a revolving door turning with no exit.
Syler's health was deteriorating and causing behavior problems. In the wrong hands we were told he would need anti psychotics at 4 yrs old. Devastated and desperate I reached out to my local military moms fb group. The mothers quickly introduced me to an amazing fierce mother in the process of healing her son with Autism, Maria O'Neil.
She quickly took my entire family under her wing and showed me the roadmap to start the healing process for Syler. We first saw Dr. Bob Sears and he quickly ran blood test, urine test as well as BM test to pin point Syler's hidden comorbid conditions that most children with Autism are suffering from. Fast forward to today, Syler is now thriving and showing off his skills!
Syler is a sweet boy with a ton of people who love him and never give up on him! Syler was unable to acknowledge or make eye contact with everyone. He used no sounds or vocalizations and he had stereotypical, repetitive play as many children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders. Syler is loving and has worked very hard to integrate himself in the world. All with the help of health care service providers such as Dr. Bob Sears, Dr. David Daily, Alan Freestone, Michele Rooney (Physical Therapist), our mentor of three years Maria O'Neil and his Chiropractor Dr. Steve Tullius. Dr. Steve Tullius has helped Syler because he had Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. This made Syler uncomfortable and always tense aside from all the medical problems Syler was suffering from. His head no longer appears to be flat one side and his neck isn't as tense as before he started chiropractic care. Without his chiropractor, Dr. Steve Tullius, Syler will still be very uncomfortable and unable to verbalize the discomfort. He now leaves the chiropractor's office happy, ready and set for his therapies. It is imperative that he is happy to move forward and be able to focus in therapy in order to succeed. With all of Syler's support team, Syler's play and social skills have progressed nicely over the years and he is now interested in peers, a variety of toys and activities, and loves to read books!
Thank you Autism Radio for joining Team Syler!!!!

Thank you letter from Fanny.
Dear Autism Radio Team,
Thank you so much for the great opportunity you have provided for my daughter. She was diagnosed with autism at age three and since I have been looking for as much information and resources as I can to help my little girl. In order to do so I had to stop working and sometimes the cost of therapies are too high for us to afford. I had research equine therapy and read testimonials of people that had benefited from it and always wanted to try it. Unfortunately, the prices were not something we could afford. Thanks to you, today that dream has become a reality and words cannot express how grateful we are. She has already done 3 sessions and she is doing amazing. Her father and I were so emotional during her very first lesson, when she yelled, "Hey!!! look at me!!". This was the first time we ever heard her ask for attention, although we always give it to her, she asked and we were laughing and crying at the same time. Attached you will find a picture of her during her first lesson.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

A Testimonial to Thank Autism Radio
This testimonial is to thank Autism Radio for the generous support of our son Alex by providing a safety mat for Alex. The mat is intended for use under a swing that I am going to put up as soon as I install a beam support anchor. In the mean time, Alex (and his brother Andrew) as having a blast using the mat for their jumping and 'crashing'. Please know that our family is most grateful for Autism Radio's kind gift. It will certainly go to good use in our household. And following last winter where Alex was stuck inside the house so much, the swing with the mat will help us all!
This is not the first time that Autism Radio has helped us! Again, thank you so much!
Kindest Regards,
John Modrowsky
