My 5 Time Cancer Surviving Hero! A Miracle Story!
My mother has been a phenomenal mom from as far back as I can remember; approximately the age of 2. She and my father met through my mother’s brother. My father and her brother were best friends. My mother was 16 at the time and lived in a very abusive household. She and my father magically clicked and back then was her knight in shining armor. His mother loved my mother and they got along wonderfully. In fact, my grandmother even before my parents got married, told my parents they better name their first child Sadie after her. It was the English translation of her name Severina. My grandmother was sadly ill at the young age of 50 and while she was able to see them get married at the young ages of 18 and 22; she was unable to witness my being born 2 years later. My parents did honor her wishes and named me Sadie however; which was a beautiful tribute to her. Shortly after that, less than 2 years later my other brother was born. My parents, while always loving each other; were very young and divorced when I was 4.

How My Game Club Continues to Impact the Lives of Over 100 Kids and Adults With Autism
Before I get to the exciting and inspiring things about my game club and my members, let me give you a quick background on ASD; Autism Spectrum Disorder. In 2013, the DSM-5 changed the way Autism, Aspergers (high functioning autism) and PDD (Pervasive Developmental Disorder) were recognized and determined. In the past, all aspects and different levels of Autism were recognized as their own separate entities. It was quite beneficial to know the exact diagnosis of an individual as it leads to better gauging how to treat them and have a better understanding of their abilities and functioning at a first meeting. When the DSM-5 decided to change their guidelines and lump all forms and stages of autism into one title, Autism, it made it more difficult at first meeting to develop a course of treatment plan for the individual. Hopefully in the future the change will be reversed and each stage of autism will be recognized as separate entities again.
