Wish submitted by:

Apple is a wonderful young girl who has autism and a seizure disorder. She doesn’t talk a lot, which makes it hard for her to interact with others, but she shows her feelings through her love of music and dance. This is when she really shines with happiness. She lives with her loving single mother and two siblings, who also have autism. Taking care of a home with children who have special needs can be tough, but her mom works very hard to give them all love and support. Recently, Apple started ABA therapy, and she has already made great progress. She is learning important skills like washing dishes, tracing, and managing situations that could overwhelm her. These are important steps toward becoming more independent and confident. Her behavior analyst and therapist are committed to helping her connect with others and navigate the world better.

Apple is a wonderful young girl who brings so much love and joy to those around her, despite facing challenges with autism and a severe seizure disorder.

Growing up with her dedicated mother and two siblings who also have autism, Apple is surrounded by a loving family that understands her unique needs. With her mom’s unwavering support and the recent start of ABA therapy, she’s making great strides toward independence and building her self-confidence. As her birthday approaches, Apple dreams of a sensory-friendly celebration filled with balloons, games, and a custom Gabby backdrop to brighten the day.
