Bring All the Walls Down

Imagine living in a walled fortress that had no doors or windows.  There would be no way for you to leave or for anyone to come inside.  Loneliness and frustration would just be two of the emotions you would have from the isolation.  Boredom and futility would accompany.  How could you escape and connect with individuals on the other side of the fortress?

Sometimes I feel like my son, Joshua, lives in that walled fortress.  Being nonverbal closes a lot of doors and windows.  Having been born with Down syndrome and a smear of autism, he is often isolated and cut off from  relationships.

I am here to introduce you to Joshua.  He is an amazing young man with an amazing journey.  Everyday something unique and sometimes embarrassing happens in his life. (I'm the one who gets embarressed, Joshua never does.)

Join us on our journey!
