Aidan's Voice Details
Aidan's Voice is a group of highly skilled healthcare professionals who identify, cultivate, and scale solutions for those whose voices have been historically suppressed; in doing so, we aim to add years to their life and life to their years. The inspiration for Aidan's Voice is an amazing 19-year-old man living with autism. Aidan was born in June, 2002, and was a very cheerful, easy-going infant. Always smiling and laughing, never fussing, he was an idyllic child. At the age of two, Aidan was mostly nonverbal and was not engaging in typical child's play. Instead he would persevere on certain household objects (kitchen spatulas were a favorite) and would engage in very repetitive, monotonous behaviors. A pediatric neurologist evaluated him, and he was ultimately diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Countless hours were spent on ABA, speech and occupational therapies, specialized schooling, as well as initiating dietary changes and trying various medications. At the age of five, a renowned physician told his family that Aidan appeared to be somewhat of a "non-responder". Over the years, Aidan would make modest gains, both verbally and functionally, but would continue to need complete assistance with most basic activities of daily living. Even though he is a grown man, Aidan continues to function at the level of a very young child. And while he may need help with the most mundane of tasks, he has taught us all profound lessons in patience, humility, compassion and the joy of simple pleasures. Those who are blessed to know Aidan are fully aware of what a tremendous gift he is to this world.
