When Joe and Renae Ingles learned that their son Jacob had been diagnosed with autism, they decided to become allies for the cause. Back in February, Joe Ingles penned a heartfelt article about the process his family went through as they ultimately learned that Jacob was on the spectrum. Part of the reason they shared this intimate knowledge of their family with the public was to spread autism awareness and help those who are going—or will at some time go—through the process.
Through early intervention, we have already seen such a big change in Jacob, and there are endless amounts of support now for kids, families and people on the spectrum.
