Julia's Journey “It’s her world, we just live in it”

On her 2nd birthday in 2018, Julia was diagnosed with Level 3 Nonverbal Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder.

If you’ve been following for a while, you know Julia does not get dressed up. It’s only for rare occasions. This was for her Nana’s memorial service yesterday (2/14).

And let me comment on how good she did through the whole service! It was her first time ever in a setting like this and I couldn’t be more proud of how well she did!

Sooooo….….life has been lifing pretty hard lately.
We no longer have our ABA therapist, Miss Carla. She had some issues that put her out of work and even she herself doesn’t know if or when she’ll be returning. And the show must go on, right?
We’ve started the process with a new company but it’s been lengthy due to insurance & needing updated testing.
So while we’re getting through that process, we continue to teach Julia at home. And it’s going well! Dad just sent me this! She’s such a good, big girl helper! So proud of her! 🥰🥰🥰

Julia’s Journey

We are a family of 5. Brian (Dad), Susan (Mom), Kenleigh (oldest child), Julia (middle child), and Hayleigh (youngest child). There are 12 years between Kenleigh & Julia & 2.5 years between Julia & Hayleigh. Julia was born 2 months early due to pregnancy complications. She only spent 14 days in the NICU (thank God). We started noticing delays in milestones which lead us to a referral and ultimately a diagnoses of Nonverbal Autism & Sensory Processing Disorder at the age of 2. We have learned that with Autism, communication is everything. So being nonverbal makes it a little harder. We believe and feel strongly that things would be a lot better for her and us if she could talk. She’s been through programs and we pray. A LOT. We wholeheartedly believe that one day she will talk.

We have created this page to raise awareness for Autism. Hopefully one day they’ll be able to do more to help people like Julia. We are also here to show you the good, the bad, the ugly, & everything in between. Being Julia’s parents is very hard some days but it is ALWAYS worth it. She has taught us so much in a short amount of time that it amazes us every day.
