Always ready for an adventure, Grayson is eager to experience the world around him. He is an avid admirer of wildlife and often the best part of his day is the time he spends outdoors. A good day for Grayson is one that involves a playground, playing with his trucks, or swimming and exploring the outdoors. Grayson also likes his day to have a nice soundtrack. Music plays a large part in his life, and he typically has his iPad handy so he can play one of the many songs that bring him joy.
Grayson’s parents are his absolute favorite people, and the feeling is mutual. They have watched him navigate two hospitalizations, conquer walking challenges, and find new ways to communicate. Grayson is diagnosed with autism and speech and intellectual delays. His parents are inspired by his continuous improvement with his diet, sleep schedule, communication, and the physical strength and agility he uses to explore and play.
Grayson is a sponge for affection and constantly demonstrates his love for his family. His mom shares: “We have this amazing little human who gives us hugs and kisses every day of his life. He loves to sit with his mom on one side and dad on the other and look back and forth between us with this huge grin on his face because he loves us with all his heart.”
