Youth living with non-verbal regressive autism often struggle in social situations and this disorder has affected his quality of life in many ways (Ty’s mother explained). He has adapted by refining his receptive communication skills and he has developed a way to communicate with his family and team of therapists, affectionately known as his “squad”. Nothing gets past him – as he certainly knows when you are talking about him because a sweet smile lights up his face!
In addition to his love for horses, Ty also loves to surf and has participated in a specialized surfing camp. He loves to chow down on burgers, jam to the tunes of Bruno Mars, and he loves going fast on roller coasters! Ty’s Dream is to attend the Kentucky Derby to see all of the beautiful horses, and possibly pet one! We are certain that making these memories will help him and be a treasure for many years to come!
