Everly’s Joy
Meet my granddaughter, Everly. She’s five years old, full of energy, curiosity, and sunshine. Everly is autistic and non-communicative—but she is by no means silent. Her smile, her laughter, and her presence speak volumes to those who take the time to see and feel.
Autism looks different for everyone. In Everly’s case, she doesn't use words, but she expresses herself in ways that are just as rich and meaningful. She finds joy in small things—sunlight through a window, textures under her hands, the rhythm of a swing—and that joy is contagious.
She reminds me daily that communication isn’t just about speech. It’s about connection, presence, and love.
