Her mom says:
“Iona and Everett are 7 year old twins, who were diagnosed with autism at age three. They are very different in their personalities and abilities and continue to amaze us with their growth. Iona is a smart, social girl who struggles regulating her emotions. She recently switched to a mainstream classroom, where she has been thriving and making many new friends. My heart melted when I heard that when she grows up, she wants to run a daycare with her friends, for kids with Autism. How sweet is that coming from 2nd graders.
Everett is a happy and lovable kid with an infectious laugh. He is semi-verbal and has greater needs than his sister, but continues to make improvements, including using speech more frequently and using some three-word phrases. Everett LOVES the outdoors, so he has been excited for the arrival of summer and warmer weather.
We are very proud of these kiddos and all their accomplishments, big and small.”
