Laura Williams
Age: 23 (When I Met Evie when I was 20 & she will be forever in my heart)

​I am super happy for Evie! She's super proud of herself and her family. That makes my heart happy, Seeing the love she is surrounded by could just restore anyone's faith in humanity!
 
​Working with Evie taught me how to truly be present and that to fully and whole heartedly enjoy another person, all you need to do is let go of your doubts and concerns and trust yourself.   
 
Evie’s eyes are so pure there is not one judgement held behind them. 
Have you ever looked at someone and known for sure that they had nothing to hide? ….
She may not have been able to say it, but she knew for damn sure how to show it!
Many people can say more words than what Evie could, not many of them can even get close to capturing that much honesty and clarity!
Autism is a gift of no filters. A gift of knowing how to look after yourself.  So many people are scared to look after themselves the way they need to because of ‘social expectations’ and these wonderful people aren’t held back by that! That can really teach us all a valuable lesson on how to love ourselves!!!!!

Gerard's Journey With Us

My name is Gerard Traub. I am 51 years old.
I wanted to make a valuable contribution in assisting Evie upon her journey of learning and discovery and to encourage Evie to explore her greater potential. I wanted to make a difference in a young child’s life, and participating in her ‘Son-Rise Program' offers fun and productive ways to inspire both Evie and myself to learn and grow together.
Evie and her Program helped me understand more deeply that fun, excitement and being present in the moment is fundamental to gaining the most from life, and is vital for one’s health, happiness and wellbeing.

Through embracing the principles of the Program, I believe that I am able to assist Evie by offering my willingness, enthusiasm and curiosity to create a bridge between us in order to reach out and explore her world.
Expressing the values of friendship, respect and trust, and through joyful interaction, I can encourage her to cross this same bridge into our world. This enables Evie to communicate more effectively enhancing the quality and duration of her interactions with others bringing greater success in areas that are challenging for her – such as extended eye contact, verbal and non-verbal communication and interactive attention span.
Being a part of Evie’s program, I have become more aware that ‘every moment’ allows both of us an opportunity to learn and grow.
I recall a special moment when Evie, meeting me for the very first time, came up and took my hand and wanted me to play with her. My heart was touched by her immediate display of trust and friendship.  
Autism offers us the opportunity to see and explore the world through another’s eyes – to see another perspective, to challenge and extend our hearts and minds, and to experience and understand another way of being.
