"Arjac couldn’t talk, he couldn’t connect with other children” says mum, Kristen.
Arjac was diagnosed with autism when he was just 18 months old.
He struggled with emotional regulation, and would have up to 20 meltdowns a day. Like many autistic children, and his behaviours included head banging, crying, kicking, throwing himself to the floor, hitting others and biting peers.
Arjac is a now different boy. Within 6 weeks of starting at AEIOU, Arjac spoke his first words.
His first words were “I love you, too” to his mum.
Kristen told us, “That was the best sentence I have ever heard in my life. AEIOU gave me that moment. They gave me my son back."
Right now, it’s Autism Awareness Month – it’s your chance to help autistic kids like Arjac get the help they need EARLY. Will you be awesome for kids with autism and donate to AEIOU?

Autism is a journey. AEIOU empowers kids and families.

Parents and carers get the support they need, with help to navigate the early years of their child’s development and understand their child needs while building on their strengths.
Right now, too many children with autism aren’t getting the support they need. Without early intervention and the right therapy, a child’s potential is hampered.
When a child with autism is diagnosed EARLY and gets the support they need EARLY, it completely changes their life.
