Arjac's story
"Arjac was diagnosed with autism when he was 18 months old. We had a little boy who found it really difficult to manage his emotions and would have up to 20 meltdowns a day. He wouldn't talk, he wouldn't connect with other children, he wouldn't look at other kids. He only ate four foods, and he was incredibly underweight, just 11 kilograms.
About 10 months after he started at AEIOU, he started talking. One night when I I tucked him into bed, and I said I love you As I was walking out of the room. I hear this little voice say I love you, too. That was the best sentence I have ever heard in my life. AEIOU gave me that moment. They gave me my son back."
